High BP, Delayed Periods, Negative Pregnancy Test, On Lisinopril. Can Lisinopril Cause Delay In Periods?
Hi, Im 22 years old and was put on Lisinopril for my high blood pressure and started taking it the same day which was durning my period last month. I am now 3 weeks late, I have taken 3 pregnacy test that where all negative. But still have no symptoms of starting my period as I usaully do.....could the Lisinopril be the cause of me not starting my period yet since its the first month being on it and the first missed period?
Dear Ma'm Thanks for writing to us. It is not likely that lisinopril is responsible for delayed menstruation. But I would request you to see your gynecologist at earliest because if by any chance you are pregnant, lisinopril should be stopped at once as it has bad effects on fetus (the baby inside the uterus). If you are not pregnant, still, you must be evaluated for the cause of delayed menses. At times medications throw surprises on us. We do see some effects hitherto not known or described in literature. If everything comes fine, a withdrawal of lisinopril may be contemplated in consultation with your physician. Sincerely Sukhvinder
