Like many prescription drugs lisinopril side effects may vary depending on the person and other medications being taken during treatment. Lisinopril, an enzyme blocking drug, is often prescribed in conjunction with other medications although it also operates as a stand alone drug. Lisinopril blocks the enzyme that causes blood vessels to tighten, which is useful in combating high blood pressure and preventing such as stroke or heart attack. More information about the technical side of the drug can be found on a prescription drugs list.
