How Can I Control My Blood Pressure?
i am wondering if I may obtain better control with my hypertension if I take lisiniprol twice a day instead of once. the drug works very well for me and I am contraindicated for diuretics. but during the night my BP can rise abruptly. it is controlled beautifully during the day. I take 20 mg every morning. keep my BP around 115/70. it cn jump to 150/95 at night.

hi,
recommended dose of lisinopril is once a day, firstly you can try taking it at night time and if during day your bp shoots up you can add another drug like amlodepine 5mg or metoprolol sr 50 mg.
