Lisinopril? Lisonopril is a common misspelling of lisinopril.
By blocking the effects of a certain enzyme in the body, lisinopril can help treat several conditions of the heart and blood vessels (such as high blood pressure and congestive heart failure). However, lisinopril is not suitable for everyone. Before taking lisinopril, make sure to talk to your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have and any medications you are taking (including vitamins and herbal supplements). Although most people tolerate lisinopril well, there are some potential side effects of the medication, such as dizziness, coughing, and diarrhea. Lisinopril is sold under the brand names Zestril® and Prinivil®, and there are also generic versions of the medication available.
