What is lisinopril and how does it work?

Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart. It is FDA-approved to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults and children 6 years and older, either alone or with other medicines; as add-on therapy for heart failure; and to improve survival after a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) in stable patients. It is sold under the brand names Prinivil, Zestril, and Qbrelis, but the generic contains the same active ingredient.

Lisinopril cost without insurance and how to save

Because lisinopril is available as a generic, it is generally one of the more affordable blood pressure medicines, even if you are paying cash or do not have insurance. That said, the cash price is not the same everywhere. The exact same prescription can cost noticeably more at one pharmacy than at another down the street, which is why comparing before you fill can make a real difference.

Rx.com compares lisinopril prices across more than 60,000 U.S. pharmacies and shows you a free discount coupon you can use at checkout. There is no manufacturer savings card for generic lisinopril, so the best way to save is simply to shop the cash price. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you.

Alternatives and related medications

Lisinopril is one of several medicines used to manage high blood pressure. Your prescriber may consider a related option based on your health history and how you respond to treatment. Common alternatives include:

• Other ACE inhibitors such as enalapril, ramipril, and benazepril
• The ARB losartan, which is often used when a dry cough from an ACE inhibitor is a problem
• The calcium channel blocker amlodipine
• The water pill hydrochlorothiazide, and the combination pill lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide

These are for comparison only. Do not switch medicines on your own; talk with your provider about what is right for you.

Important safety information

Lisinopril carries a boxed warning for fetal toxicity: medicines that act on the renin-angiotensin system can injure or cause death to a developing baby, so it should be stopped as soon as pregnancy is detected. It can also cause angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat that can rarely be life-threatening) at any time during treatment, and it should not be used by anyone with a history of ACE-inhibitor-related or hereditary angioedema. Other risks include high potassium (hyperkalemia), low blood pressure, and reduced kidney function. Do not use it within 36 hours of a neprilysin inhibitor such as sacubitril, and it should not be combined with aliskiren in people with diabetes.

The most common side effects are a dry cough, dizziness, headache, and fatigue. This is general information, not medical advice. Seek emergency care right away for any swelling of the face or throat or trouble breathing, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation before starting or stopping this medicine.
