Question 2

how do i withdraw from lisinopril?

Accepted Answer

check with your doc: You can just stop it - there's no rebound. Why are you stopping it? If you have high blood pressure, you may need a substitute. If you have congestive heart failure, it may get worse. If you're on a diuretic, you may develop low potassium. This should be done with your doctor's supervision. That's why it's a prescription medicine.

ACV: What is acv. Do you mean apple cider vinegar. If so, it is ok to take while you are on lisinopril. No significant interaction.

Question 8

i accidentally took 160 mg of lisinopril should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: It partially depends on what dose of lisinopril you have been taking. If you takes 80 mg daily (max dose 40 mg, twice a day), I would say the effect of total dose of 160 mg on your blood pressure will be insignificant. In general, you just have to watch for the symptoms of very low BP such as faint, lightheadedness, palpitation, drowsy, etc. Drink chicken broth + stay in bed if symptomatic.

Question 9

is lisinopril a calcium blocker?

Accepted Answer

No: Lisinopril is ithe class of drugs called ace inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme).

Question 10

natural replacement for lisinopril?

Accepted Answer

No : There is no natural replacement for Lisinopril per se, but you might be able to lower your blood pressure naturally by avoiding salt in your diet and, if overweight, losing at least 10% of the excess weight. Home BP monitoring has also been shown to be helpful. If you're taking Lisinopril for a different indication (it's also used for heart failure & kidney disease) there's no natural alternative.
