A member asked:

I was told to take 10mg lisinopril a day but can't tolerate more than 5mg, will it affect my recovery from heat failure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: You can gradually increase it. You can also discuss specific problems with your doctor, you might have other choices that can work as well without side effects.
