Are 40mg Lisinopril And HCTZ Harmful If Taken More Than Once A Day?

Yes. Thank you. I take 40mg Lisinopril and HCTZ once a day. I am not sure if I took my medication already and absent mindedly took them after dinner. I think I only took them once but, now that I am second guessing myself, I am getting anxiety. Is this harmful and what should I do?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi & Welcome to HCM.
The usual recommended dose of BP lowering medications (Lisinopril & Hydrochlorothiazide) is once daily. Since you are not sure whether you have taken it once or twice, there's nothing to worry. If you experience dizziness, lightheadedness, increased heart beats you should visit your doctor immediately. Hope this solves your problem.
