Common Side Effects of Lisinopril-Hydrochlorothiazide
Lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide has been studied extensively in clinical trials for people with
high blood pressure. Before medicines are approved, they must go through several clinical studies, where many people are given a particular medicine and are then compared to a group of people not given the medicine. In these studies, the side effects are always documented. As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine. In these studies, the most common
lisinopril-
hydrochlorothiazide side effects included:
- Dizziness -- in up to 7.5 percent of people
- Headache -- up to 5.2 percent
- Cough -- up to 3.9 percent
- Fatigue -- up to 3.7 percent
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting on standing from a sitting or lying down position (known medically as orthostatic effects) -- up to 3.2 percent.
Other side effects (occurring in more than 1 percent of people) include but are not limited to:
