How Safe Is Suprep Intake While On Lisinopril Pills?
I am having a colonoscopy next Monday, 24 Feb. I have been given Suprep to cleanseo my colon before this procedure. I currently take 40 mg of Lisinopril each day (20mg in the am and 20 mg in the pm). Is it safe to use this cleansing prep while being on the Lisinopril? I had a stroke 2 years ago so want to make sure this is okay. My blood pressure is currently stable. Thank you very your time.

Hi,
Suprep is used to clean and prepare bowel for colonoscopy in order to see its details better and clear. It is very safe to give it with lisinopril, which is used to lower blood pressure. You just have to keep an eye on blood pressure, but as such Suprep has no interaction with lisinopril and both can be used safely at one time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
