Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
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!
