Taken Wrong Medicine. Side Effects?
I m a healthy 53 year old woman and I accidentally took my husband s blood pressure medication. I m not taking any other medication and I weigh 150 lbs. I accidentally took his batch of vitamins instead of mine and his included this pill. The pill was one Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide 20mg/12.5. What should I do?

Hello
I don't think there is going to be any big problem by taking only one tablet accidentally.
You may go for urine few times and feel little weakness and dizzy for some time.
Take some rehydration solution if you feel thirsty or very weak.
Get your BP checked and if you find it to be very low,like below 90/60,then you may go to ER,otherwise there should not be any cause of worry.
Thanks
