Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum . Lisinopril is a most potent anti hypertensive medicine . Due to vasodilator effects of lisinopril it develops loss of libido ( erectile dysfunction). As your BP is normal , so consult your doctor and get his advice regarding the side effects and stopping of drug or other alternative drug. Good luck. Dr. HET
