Suggest Ways To Wean Off Lisinopril

I mean 20mg lisinoppril
Gradually decrease the dose
Detailed Answer:
hello,
You should gradually decrease the dose rather than suddenly stopping it. Suddenly stopping may cause rebound increase in blood pressure. I think you should move on to 10 mg lisinopril now and see the response. Most probably you will be tapered off the drug in few days. You should monitor your bp three times a day, and make a chart of it. At this moment, you can withhold the today's dose and start 10 mg from tomorrow. Most importantly we have to see the overall trend of the blood pressure and single reading is not very helpful in optimizing dose. If you are having symptoms like dizziness and fainting then you can have some ors or salt / sugar water.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
