Get a prescription refill for Lisinopril online to keep your heart health in check

Yes, obtaining a Lisinopril prescription through an online doctor is legal in all provinces and states of Canada and the US as long as a licensed provider prescribes it. Lisinopril is not a controlled substance, so it isn’t subject to the special federal restrictions that controlled drugs have.

Providing a blood pressure reading is required as it will help our doctors to determine the best treatment plan for you and to rule out a hypertensive crisis. It is essential to provide the required details alongside your medical history for a transparent consultation. If you have a home blood pressure monitor, we strongly encourage you to take a fresh reading and share it. Providing a recent blood pressure log can speed up the approval process because it gives the doctor concrete evidence that your blood pressure is well-controlled.

Most adults who start Lisinopril 10 mg once daily can expect an average fall of 8–12 mm Hg in systolic and 4–6 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure within the first 4–8 weeks. However, the response varies from person to person.

No, 20 mg is a middle-of-the-road maintenance dose, not a “high” dose. FDA labeling says the usual dosage range is 20 – 40 mg once daily after a 10 mg start; higher doses up to 80 mg add little extra benefit.

Long-term studies show Lisinopril is generally safe, but a few effects, such as dry cough, high potassium, decline in kidney function, and rare facial swelling, can appear months or even years after you start. That’s why our doctors order annual labs and ask about new symptoms during every refill chat.

No, you should not take an extra tablet just because your single elevated home reading. Prinivil dosing must be adjusted only under medical supervision and on a set schedule (usually every 2–4 weeks), and should not be based on a single elevated reading. Instead, you should:

• Continue your regular dose as prescribed
• Record several readings
• Start an online doctor’s consultation to get medical advice within 5 minutes 

Yes, a 5 mg once-daily dose of Zistril is considered a low/initiating dose, not a full maintenance dose. A 5 mg starting dose is usually prescribed to patients taking a diuretic alongside. Whereas, a typical long-term dose for Lisinopril is 10–40 mg once daily.

There is no direct drug-drug interaction between Lisinopril, Viagra, and other PDE5 inhibitors. They can be safely used together. However, since both affect blood vessels (in different ways), you should be aware of your blood pressure.

No, Lisinopril is a prescription medication and cannot be bought without a doctor’s prescription. Taking it over the counter can lead to serious side effects such as dizziness, kidney problems, or electrolyte imbalances. You can skip the in-office visit by consulting a licensed physician through our 24/7 virtual clinic, who can safely assess you and send your prescription directly to your pharmacy.

Men and women mostly experience the same range of side effects from Lisinopril. However, women are more prone to the ACE-inhibitor cough. The reason isn’t entirely clear; it might be related to how women metabolize the drug or differences in sensitivity to the buildup of bradykinin (the substance thought to cause the cough).

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for you based on the condition being treated and your response to the medication. Zestril comes in multiple strengths, often requiring a dose adjustment when first starting. Some general guidelines: 

• Adults usually start at 5–10 mg once daily for high blood pressure
• Maintenance is 20–40 mg daily

As a generic drug, Lisinopril is one of the more affordable medications available. Thirty tablets of 10 mg might cost  $4 to $15 at US pharmacies, depending on the store and any discount programs. Out-of-pocket cost for a generic Lisinopril prescription in Canada is around CAD $10–$20 for a month’s supply. However, with Your Doctors Online, you can get a prescription for blood pressure meds at a much affordable rate.

(Zestril/Prinivil) is typically a long-term treatment because high blood pressure is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management. If it controls your blood pressure effectively and you’re not experiencing side effects, you’ll likely continue taking it indefinitely to maintain those benefits.

Yes, we offer valid prescriptions that all pharmacies in the United States and Canada accept. Whether you’re traveling out of state or province, it doesn’t matter. For instance, if you have a prescription sent to a CVS in California but are on a trip to Florida, you can have it transferred, or we can send it directly to a pharmacy in Florida if you prefer.

It is best to avoid drinking alcohol when on Lisinopril. Both alcohol and Lisinopril can cause your blood vessels to relax. Together, they might lower your blood pressure too much. Whereas drinking large quantities of alcohol raises your blood pressure and can impact the effectiveness of your antihypertensive medications. 

If you are stable on your Lisinopril dose and it’s a long-term therapy for you, YDO doctors can write a prescription for a 90-day supply. During your consultation, the doctor will assess how stable your condition is. If you’ve been on Lisinopril for a while with good control, there’s usually no problem in issuing a 90-day prescription. 

If you cannot tolerate Lisinopril’s cough, your doctor may prescribe an alternative that may do a similar job in treating blood pressure without causing a cough, depending on your health status. This may include any of these medications:

• Losartan prescription: Belongs to the class of drugs called ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers
• Amlodipine prescription: Belongs to the drug class of calcium channel blockers
• Hydrochlorothiazide prescription: Belongs to thiazide diuretics
• Ramipril refill: Also an ACE inhibitor
• Enalapril refill: An ACE inhibitor

Yes, ACE inhibitors are safe to use for people with diabetes. Lisinopril not only treats high blood pressure (which is common in people with diabetes) but also provides protective effects for the kidneys. Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys over time, leading to protein leaking into the urine. ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril help reduce this leakage, slowing the progression of kidney disease.

You should not stop Lisinopril abruptly without consulting a doctor, even if your blood pressure readings are normal. Stopping the drug can lead to a rebound increase in blood pressure, putting you at risk of stroke. If your blood pressure has improved significantly, you should discuss with our online family doctor whether a dose reduction or stopping the medication is feasible.

If you take antihypertensive meds but your blood pressure remains elevated, don’t be discouraged. This is a common scenario. There are several steps to consider. For instance: 

• Check adherence: Make sure you take medicine every day without missing doses.
• Adjust dose: If your blood pressure remains elevated, your doctor may increase your dose (up to 40 mg daily).
• Add a second medication: Combining with a low-dose diuretic such as HCTZ or another class (CCB, ARB) often improves control
• Lifestyle tweaks: Reduce salt, manage weight, exercise, and limit alcohol to boost medication effectiveness
• Follow up: Monitor readings at home and consult your doctor every 2–4 weeks to fine-tune therapy.

If you forget to take your Zestril at the usual time, the general rule is: take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. However, if an entire day has nearly passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule at the next dosing time. Do not double up doses to catch up, as it can drop your blood pressure too much and increase the risk of side effects.
