The drug is indicated for treating high blood pressure in patients not adequately controlled on aliskiren or

Avoid prescribing an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and an

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a fixed dose combination of two antihypertensives, the calcium channel blocker (CCB) amlodipine besylate (currently marketed by Pfizer as Norvasc) and the

A third possibility is to try a drug with longer action than the lisinopril, like olmesartan, which is an
