Hi,

The dose of lisinopril varies according to the need (to achieve target BP). You are right, your BP is a bit higher then needed. You can increase the dose up to 40 mg to achieve the target BP. However, do ask your doctor about it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
