    What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking lisinopril (Prinivil, Qbrelis, Zestril)?

    You should not use lisinopril if you are allergic to it, or if you:

    How should I take lisinopril (Prinivil, Qbrelis, Zestril)?

    Your blood pressure will need to be checked often. Your kidney function and electrolytes may also need to be checked.
