What strenght? what?: Ace inhibitors can be stopped abruptly if blood blood pressure is in the normal range and if the milligrams of the medication is low. Your prescribing doctor is in the best position to answer this question for you.

It depends: It depends on what your current blood pressure readings are and how high a dose of Lisinopril you are taking. If blood pressure is well into normal range on a low dose of lisinopril, it is safe to just stop it.

End Lisinopril: You can stop Lisinopril at once, with no problems. Have your physician monitor you BP periodically to make sure you do not need to restart it in the futures.
