  • Lisinopril

    Hi, I’m 5 weeks postpartum, I was taking Lisinopril previously before pregnancy. I would like to get back on it but I’m breast feeding. I know there is not a lot of information on Lisinopril and breastfeeding. Looking to hear your thoughts on Lisinopril use 5 weeks postpartum partum?

    Safety depends on the dosage, but low dosages are likely to be compatible with breastfeeding. The risk here is minimal compared to you having long term, untreated hypertension. Monitor baby for drowsiness, lethargy, pallor, and poor feeding, although, it is unlikely to occur.
