A member asked:

M58, is losartan and lisinopril belong to same group. if i am allergic to losartan would i also be allergic to lisinopril?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Unrelated: Losartan and Lisinopril work on different parts of the ACE actions and are not chemically related. However lisinopril is associated with more side effects such as cough and swelling which are not related to allergy.
