Taking an extra lisinopril 5 mg in error is not a concern

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Taking another lisinopril 5 mg as an extra dose at night on one occasion will do no harm. There was no requirement to make yourself throw up for that.

You will not have any adverse effect due to one extra pill taken accidentally. Please do not worry. I am sure you are always careful when taking pills.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
