well, let me tell you. I have been taking this med for about 1yr. now. I was on zestril and doc put me on the generic.(lisinopril) I started having alot of complications from this med that are listed. It made my pressure go down but so did the zestril. pain in my left side under breast area, twitching under my right eye, diarhea, and alot of dizziness. I finally had enough and went back to zestril and what a difference I feel. no more dizziness and the other side effects are gradually going away. been on zestril for only a week. I never had the cough but I feel this generic form of zestril is absolutely no good. The cost which is cheap for this generic is in no way worth the side effects. Good luck to you all.
