What is lisinopril?
Lisinopril is a prescription drug used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and kidney disease. It is also often administered to patients within 24 hours after a heart attack to improve recovery rates and outcomes.
Almost half of all Americans have high blood pressure, a serious condition that can place you at greater risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Talk to your doctor about whether lisinopril is right for you.
What are common side effects of lisinopril?
While adverse reactions to lisinopril are rare, some patients who take the drug may experience mild side effects, including headache, dizziness, and dry cough.
Rare, more serious adverse events have been known to occur, including hypotension, creatinine increase, hyperkalemia, syncope, persistent nausea and vomiting, yellowing of the eyes and skin, and dark urine. If you are concerned that lisinopril is causing you to experience side effects, contact your doctor. Lisinopril can cause life-threatening swelling of the lips, tongue and throat (angioedema). Seek emergency care if this occurs.

Online prescription refills are up to the discretion of your provider. If you’re a new patient, most providers will write a prescription for 30 days and may want to schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure that the medication is effective. If you’re a returning patient, your provider may prescribe for a longer period of time.
Prescriptions and prescription refills on Sesame are exclusively cash-pay. We do not accept insurance for the provider appointment or the medication. If a clinician sends your prescription to your local pharmacy, you can pick it up and pay with a method of your choice, including your FSA or HSA card, prescription card, cash, credit, and more.
Most insurance plans do not require prior authorization for medication coverage. When you go to the pharmacy to pick up your prescription, the pharmacist can use the insurance information they have on file, or you can give them your insurance information for coverage.
Health insurance plans publish a formulary for the drugs covered by the plan and the corresponding drug and copay prices. Check with your insurance provider to find out what drugs require authorization and the specific coverage information regarding the medication you’ve been prescribed.
