Lizopril is a medicine that contains lisinopril, an active substance from the group of ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors). Lisinopril widens the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
The medicine comes as 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg tablets with a score line and is intended for long-term treatment as prescribed by a doctor.
Important warning
- Lizopril must not be taken after the third month of pregnancy and is not recommended in early pregnancy either – tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
- Stop taking it and contact a doctor immediately if swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat (angioedema) or difficulty breathing occurs.
- The first dose and dose increases can cause a more pronounced drop in blood pressure and dizziness.
- The medicine is dispensed only on prescription; follow the leaflet and your doctor’s advice.
- This page is for information only and is not an offer to buy the medicine online.

Pharmacist's advice
Lizopril lowers blood pressure gradually, and people with high blood pressure often have no symptoms – so it is important to take it every day, even when you feel well. After the first dose and after dose increases, get up slowly; if you feel dizzy, lie down.
Do not use potassium-containing salt substitutes or potassium supplements without agreeing with your doctor. Before buying non-prescription cold or pain medicines, ask a pharmacist whether they can be taken with Lizopril. Measuring and recording your blood pressure at home helps the doctor find the right dose.
