Answer 1

Cough: Prinivil (lisinopril) is part of a drug class called an ace inhibitor. The more common side effects associated with this medicine is cough and a mild elevation in potassium. More side effects are angioedema (swelling of your tongure and larynx area) and renal failure.

Answer 2

Very quickly!: A great way to answer your question yourself, would be to purchase an inexpensive home BP unit (i like omron), and simply monitor your BP every hour or two. You should see results within hours.

Answer 3

In a matter of days: In a matter of days.

Answer 4

5 days: Most meds take 5 half lives to take effect. Lisinopril is once a day so at least 5 days for full dose effect.

Answer 5

Fast and slower.....: With each pill you take, it will be in your system (so you may notice lower blood pressure) within 20 minutes. To know the full impact of a med like Lisinopril on your blood pressure you should take it, as prescribed, for at least 2 weeks before making decisions about dose adjustments, etc.

Answer 6

High potassium: Its a great drug and i write it often, but u need to check for high potassium occ. Some people's also can develop a chronic cough.

Answer 7

Overall safe: Most common is a nuisance cough. Most serious is swelling of lips and throat which can cause breathing difficulties. Rash can occur. There may be a worsening of kidney function rarely if you have blockage in blood vessels to both kidneys. Sometimes it can also cause high potassium. Overall it is a safe, inexpensive and very useful medicine!

Answer 8

Depends,: The original bottle will have a 'discard date'. If not avalable, it is safer to refill the rx, as the generic form can be bought for less than $4 for a month supply in some pharmacies.

Answer 9

Only your Rx: Only ever take your own, current prescriptions of unexpired medications.

Answer 10

Not really: Zestril (lisinopril) is a very commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure, and is very effective for blood pressure control. Although less than 10% of patients will experience side effects, the two most common are: light-headedness and cough.
