What is Lisinopril most used for?

Lisinopril is used to lower blood pressure. Although not a complete cure, it relaxes blood vessels to control high blood pressure (also known as hypertension). Remember that having high blood pressure is dangerous, and can lead to stroke, heart failure, or kindey damage. Patients with heart failure may also take Lisinopril. ...

Splitting Pills To Attain Proper Dosage
My 73 yr old husband was just put on Lisinopril 5 mg daily in addition to the half-tablet of 25 mg HCTZ he's been taking. The pharmacy gave him 10 mg Lisinopril which he is to cut in half but it is not designed to cut. When I try to cut it with the best pill cutter I could find, many of them us crush or cut unevenly. What can I do? I end up with a handful of crumbs that are not usable.

Lisinopril Side Effects
Was on Lisinopril for at least one year. Over time developed bad asthma (at first thought must be having anxiety attacks due to feeling shortenss of breath as though breathing with only partial lung, but have never had anxiety!) and Reynauds Syndrome. Told Dr. about worsening nerve symptoms making my feet feel as though freezing, couldn't even sleep at night from discomfort despite rest of body felt normal. No useful or focused response. Progressed to up to my knees and feet and toes turning awful colors like a diabetic with no circulation. Asthma progressed until waking up gasping for air so hard my back hurt for days afterward. Finally, happened to see my ENT who called me 30 minutes after I left her office and told me to stop Lisinopril right away. Stopped it and symptoms cleared up 90 + percent!

Could It Be An Alergic Reaction?
I too use Lisinopril-HCTZ. I resently had a reaction but I am not sure to what. It seems to happen more in warmer weather. Both my thumbs hurt. Because I am used to pain I can ignore it accept when having to use them to open something up. Along with the pain I had localized rashes on my hands where the pain in my thumbs were. It also discolored my skin. I went to dermatologists that have know idea what it was. Now that it is cooler the rash has subsided although the discoloration is still there ever so slightly and the pain in far less. The discoloration is light with dark spots. The reason I am writing is that I have read that other people seem to have pain in their thumbs when taking this drug. Please get back to me if buzzare things like this has happened to you taking this drug. Also, I am interested in knowing if anyone has gained weight from taking this drug. Because of the way insurance companies are today, only giving the doctors x amount of time with patients I find that speaking to others that take the drug is far more beneficial. Perhaps together we can come up with more structured data then our doctors.

A Different Look To The Pills
I received a different manufacturers pill and it is different. Last time it was a dusty rose pill that was quite small with a point on either end. This new batch is a triangular white pill with 3759 on one side and a 1 on the other. Does this sound correct?
