Suggest Treatment For Accidentally Taking Double Dosage Of Lisinopril
I am a 54 y.o. male, 210 lbs. . I take 10mg of licinopril every morning, I thought I had missed my dose this morning, so took one 14 hours later (30 mins ago). Then I realized I probably did take it when I checked my pill organizer. So, is taking a second dose a half day later still okay? And can I take another tomorrow morning when I take my usual 10mg dose?

Hello,
Taking an extra dose 14 hours later won't cause any problem.
As far as your routine dose is concerned,I would advise you to start taking your usual dose of lisinopril in the night only instead of taking in morning.
It is always best for blood pressure medicine and blood thinners to take in night because it will help in keeping your blood pressure on low side in morning when there are maximum chances of higher blood pressure and heart attacks.
Thanks
