Taken Cortisone For Leg Cramps. Cramps Due To Taking Lisinopril?

I have been taking Lisinopril 40mg ( take one half tablet every day ) from the VA . I was told by my VA doctor a while ago that some of the medications I was getting from the VA would be cheaper at Target or Walmart so I did get a refill from Target a while ago. I didn't notice their prescription bottle of 40 mg Lisinopril says " take one tablet daily "
I have been suffering with bad leg cramps for 3 months and had an MRI cortisone shot. as well as three Epidural injections at Missouri Baptist Hospital ( three weeks apart ) . My leg pain has not subsided .
I read on line that various people who were also taking Lisinopril suffered leg pains and once they stopped they were back to normal withing a few days.
How do you feel about this. ( my blood pressure has always been normal )

Hi,
Take prescribed medicine as advised by your doctor.
If he advised one and a half tablet daily then take accordingly.
Do not follow pharmasist advice.
If you have doubt about side effect of medicine, discuss with your doctor and take his advice.
You can purchase medicine from any where, quality remains same.
Ok and take care.
