When Do Blood Pressure Levels Start Reducing While On Lisinopril?
started taking Lisinopril 2.5 mg a few weeks ago blood pressure was averaging 140/90.doctor increased dosage to 5 mg.how long before I start to see results.also I have my own blood pressure culp and will also take pressure readings at a pharmacy.readings always higher.
Usually when dosage is adequate, raised BP starts doping within a few days. In case of inadequate dose, desired lowering may not occur even after 2 to 3 weeks. Then one needs to increase the dose. A drug like Lisinopril does reduce BP in about 4 to 5 days. To stabilize and decide on a correct dosage it may need about 3 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar
