Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been taking lisinipril 40mg for over 5 yrs daily I have had a extended perscription until my primary doctor moved away and I now have no primary doctor I went to the phamacy and they informed me that the perscription had expired and they would not refill without a new perscription I just took my last one this morning worried about how long I can go without.
Hi! the antihypertensive effect of lisinopril can be seen upto 24 hrs. from the last ingested dose. Please do NOT take the risk of going without antihypertensive medication after having been on regular therapy for over 5 yrs. Do get in touch with a doctor and begin afresh without losing time. All the best!
