Is Taking Lisinopril Along With Amlodipine Effective For Treatment Of Hypertension?

Dr. Presently I am taking Losartan Potassium 50mg daily and Amlodipine Besylate 5mg daily, to control my high blood pressure. I was just given Lisinopril 10mg instead of Losartan Potassium to take with my Amlodipine. Does this sound right, given the data above? Maybe the MG are confusing me? I just want to make sure I m being safe here.

Hello,

Losartan and Lisinopril almost have the same mechanism of action. You can take any of the two medications. Lisinopril may cause dry cough which is its common side effect. So if you get cough, please report it to your physician and he will change the medicine. Most importantly, both the drugs are effective in treating hypertension. So you can use Amlodipine along with Lisinopril 10mg for effective control of blood pressure.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
