Lisinopril works by inhibiting the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. [7] Lisinopril was patented in 1978 and approved for medical use in the United States in 1987. [7] [11] It is available as a generic medication. [7] In 2022, it was the third most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 82 million prescriptions.
Lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide, sold under the brand name Zestoretic among others, is a fixed-dose combination medication used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). [2] It contains lisinopril , an ACE inhibitor , and hydrochlorothiazide , a diuretic .
Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) are a class of medication used primarily for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure. [1] [2] This class of medicine works by causing relaxation of blood vessels as well as a decrease in blood volume, which leads to lower blood pressure and decreased oxygen demand from the heart.
Lisinopril/amlodipine, sold under the brand name Lisonorm among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure. [1] It is a combination of lisinopril an ACE inhibitor with amlodipine a calcium channel blocker. [1] It may be used when blood pressure is not well controlled with each of the two agents alone. [4] It is taken by mouth. [1]
The CFDA/NMPA has used its power to mandate a warning on fluoroquinolones, ceftriaxone, aciclovir, and pioglitazone. [24] Health Canada terms its version of boxed warnings "serious warnings and precautions box".

Hydrochlorothiazide, sold under the brand name Hydrodiuril among others, is a diuretic medication used to treat hypertension and swelling due to fluid build-up. [4] Other uses include treating diabetes insipidus and renal tubular acidosis and to decrease the risk of kidney stones in those with a high calcium level in the urine. [4]
This effect is also observed after the administration of the first dose of drugs in the ACEi class (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). [5]This may occur with the class's better known side effect of dry cough (due to decreased breakdown of bradykinin), though there is no clear relationship between the two side effects.
ACE inhibitors like captopril, enalapril, lisinopril, perindopril, and ramipril due to the potential for additive hyperkalaemic effects [5] Prilocaine — additive risk of methaemoglobinaemia; Antiarrhythmics like amiodarone (increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias) and dofetilide (increased risk of QT interval prolongation)
