Lisinopril
Posted over a year ago
Thank God I'm not crazy. I've been taking Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide 20/12.5 mg for a few months and started having a hacking cough. I then noticed a few days ago my hair was thinning and now have a bold spot in my head .I am so glad I searched this medicine and will not be taking anymore of this medicine as of today.
Nettepope - I've been taking lisinopril for years. It has really helped my blood pressure but I have a nagging cough. I HATE IT. Even though the medicine works, the cough keeps me up at night. At my next appointment with the NP I will ask that she take me off the lisinopril and put me on something else.
Chadd - Lisinopril and other blood pressure medications are dangerous and totally unnecessary. Several studies have proven that vitamin C will lower high blood pressure safely and naturally. Just do a google search for 'vitamin C reduces high blood pressure' and read the articles. Vitamin C was effective even though the studies used a relatively small dose of only 500 mg per day, much less than the 2 or 3 grams per day recommended by Dr. Linus Pauling for preventing cardiovascular disease. Of course, Big Pharma and organized medicine aren't interested in vitamin C at all because it is cheap, unpatentable, and a huge financial threat to their high-profit pharmaceutical drugs. Unfortunately, Big Pharma practically 'owns' the FDA, so I doubt this drug will ever be banned no matter how much damage it inflicts on trusting and unsuspecting patients. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient vitally important for cardiovascular health. I would urge you to read two very informative articles at the website cqs.com. Just do a google search for cqs.com to get to the website, then click on the article Natural Cardiovascular Disease Therapy to read it, then click on Natural Statin Injury Therapy to read it.
