Hypertension
Child: >6 yr Initially, 0.07 mg/kg, up to 5 mg once daily.
Renal Dose
Hypertension
Renal impairment: Adult: CrCl <10 mL/min or on dialysis: Initially, 2.5 mg once daily. CrCl 10-30 mL/min: Initially, 2.5-5 mg once daily. CrCl 31-80 mL/min: Initially, 5-10 mg once daily. Dose can be adjusted up to max 40 mg once daily based on patient's response. Child: Do not give if GFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
CrCl (ml/min)
<10 Initially, 2.5 mg once daily.
10-30 Initially 2.5-5 mg once daily.
31-80 Initially, 5-10 mg once daily.
Contraindication
History of angioedema related to previous treatment with ACE inhibitors, hereditary or idiopathic angioedema. Bilateral renal artery stenosis. Pregnancy (2nd or 3rd trimester), lactation.
Mode of Action
Lisinopril competitively inhibits ACE from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (a potent vasoconstrictor) resulting in increased plasma renin activity and reduced aldosterone (a hormone that causes water and Na retention) secretion. This promotes vasodilation and BP reduction.
Precaution
Hypovolaemia, hyperkalaemia, collagen vascular disease, valvular stenosis; before, during or immediately after anaesthesia, preexisting renal insufficiency, unilateral renal artery stenosis. Children <6 yr. Assess renal function. May impair ability to drive or operate machinery.
Lactation: Not known if excreted into breast milk; not recommended

1-10%
Cough (4-9%),Headache (4-6%),Hyperkalemia (2-5%),Diarrhea (3-4%),Hypotension (1-4%),Chest pain (3%),Fatigue (3%),Nausea/vomiting (2%),Kidney disease, of AMI patients (2%),Rash (1-2%)

Potentially Fatal: Severe hypotension, angioedema.
Interaction
May enhance hypotensive effect w/ diuretics. May increase risk of renal function deterioration and decrease antihypertensive effect w/ NSAIDs. May increase serum levels and toxicity of lithium. Increased risk of hyperkalaemia w/ K-sparing diuretics and K supplements. May increase nitritoid reactions of gold Na thiomalate.
Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalaemia and changes in renal function w/ aliskiren in patients w/ diabetes or renal impairment.
