Lisonipril
Were you looking for information about Lisinopril? Lisonipril is a common misspelling of lisinopril.
If you have certain heart or blood vessel conditions, your healthcare provider may prescribe lisinopril (sold under the brand names Zestril® and Prinivil®). As part of a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), lisinopril works by blocking certain enzymes to help relax the blood vessels. This medication comes in tablet form and is usually taken once a day. Seek immediate medical attention if you overdose on lisinopril.
