Key facts from the NHS website:

*Lisinopril lowers your blood pressure and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.
*Your very first dose of lisinopril may make you feel dizzy, so it's best to take it at bedtime. After the first dose, if you do not feel dizzy, you can take lisinopril at any time of day. Try to take it at the same time every day.
*Some people get a dry, tickly cough with lisinopril. If this happens your doctor might suggest you change to a different medicine.
*If you get severe diarrhoea or vomiting from a stomach bug or illness, tell your doctor. You may need to stop taking lisinopril for a while until you feel better.
*Drinking alcohol with lisinopril can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded. It's best to stop drinking alcohol until you see how the medicine affects you.
