Global Patient Feedback for Prinivil (Lisinopril)

I have been taking lisinopri/lHTCZ for about a year now. I check my meds. @ MedicGuard.org for any interactions. 5 interactions came up when I added this med to the list! When I read about the adverse side effects to African Americans when taking lisinopril I stopped taking them and I will be asking my MD on my next visit why he would prescribe this for me when there are plenty of other drugs to treat my high blood pressure.

I experienced dizzyness from lisiniprol, upon switching to Exforge (expensive) the symptoms abated.
