i have recently changed from Zestril to a generic form lisinopril,i had no problems with zestril,however since taking lisinopril with mannitol,i seem to be having terrible side effects,with swelling of face,hands and feet. I know zestril contains mannitol but it appears from the info on mannitol i am having an adverse reaction to it, maybe the compound is a bit different causing this,anyone else had similar problems with generic forms?

You may consider asking your physician if Lisinopril w/ Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) would be right for you. If you are having water retention, the HCTZ can offset that by having the kidneys get rid of excess water and salt through the urine. I have been taking Lisinopril/HCTZ combo and have not had any problems. It's been wonderful to be back to normal. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hypertension at age 23. It was unexplainable how, but this drug has changed my life.
