Does Lisinopril Cause Allergic Itching?

I think I have accidentally been taking my Lisinopril prescription twice a day instead of once. I have been having unexplained itching. Would the two be connected? My prescription is for 20mg. I have been taking it for several years. I am a 68 yr. old female. I take not other prescriptions. I have recently been taking Plexus Nerve suplement.

Yes itching may be a rare side effect but it may not be there in your case as you are taking this drug since long. Dry cough is most common side effect of Drug you are taking. Try to avoid over dosage as it may cause hypotension ( low BP) too.
