A member asked:
What is the difference between the medications enalapril and lisinopril and which one is better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Differences: Both are in a class of medications called ace inhibitors primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure. Neither is specifically "better" although Lisinopril tends to be slightly better in overall BP reduction. Side effects are similar with persistent cough in about 10% of patients. Both are generic medications.
