What Causes Itchy Rash On The Back While On Lisinopril?

I ve been taking lisinopril since June without any noticeable side effects. I ve developed an itchy rash over my back, torso, arms the past few days which I can t attribute to anything else. Is it possible that this could be a reaction to this med after having taken it this long?

Yes, it can be a possible side effect of taking Lisinopril. The rashes or any other hypersensitivity reactions can occur at any time during drug intake. It can also happen after years of drug intake without any side effects.
But if you are so sure about ruling out all the other causes, then speak to your physician. Do not stop Lisinopril on your own. Alternatives has to be initiated before stopping Lisinopril.
Hope the above information helps you. Thanks.
