Women who are pregnant can’t take the medicine. It could harm the unborn baby.
How should I take lisinopril?
● Take lisinopril exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may sometimes change your dose (剂量) to make sure you get the best results.
● Drink plenty of water each day while you are taking this medicine.
● Lisinopril can be taken with or without food.
● Your blood pressure needs to be checked often, and you may need frequent blood tests.
What if I forget to take it?
If you miss a dose of lisinopril, take it as soon as you remember. If you don’t remember until the following day, skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten one. If you forget doses often, it may help to set an alarm to remind you.
What should I avoid while taking lisinopril?
● Avoid drinking alcohol, because it can further lower your blood pressure and may increase certain side effects of lisinopril.
● Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.
