A member asked:
I started lisinopril last month and have been having leg cramps almost every day. is this a side effect?

Possible: Follow-up with the prescribing dr. As at times, the ace-inhibitor class of drugs may cause fluctuations in potassium levels causing cramps as well. Good luck.

Call pharmacy : Lisonopril is an ace inhibitor. Side effects vary and calling your pharmacist may help. Record when you take the medication then when the pain starts. Your pharmacist will be able to look up side effects and consult on these. If blood tests are required the pharmacist can communicate to md.
