{"chart":{"slug":"lisinopril-side-effects-reported","title":"Which side effects are reported most for lisinopril?","takeaway":"Fatigue (20,635 reports), nausea and diarrhea are the reactions named most often in reports to the FDA, as of September 2026, that list lisinopril (Zestril, Prinivil) among a patient's medicines. Its label warns about kidney injury. People taking it for blood pressure often take other medicines too, so common complaints lead the list for most drugs. A report is not proof the medicine caused the problem: anyone can send one, it lists every medicine the person was taking, and the same case can be reported twice. Reports that the medicine didn't work or was used differently than labeled are left out. Don't stop a medicine without talking to a doctor.","topic":"Food and drug safety","chart_type":"bar","ranking":false,"x_label":"Reported reaction","y_label":"Reports to the FDA naming lisinopril","unit":null,"points_count":15,"source":{"name":"U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) via openFDA","url":"https://open.fda.gov/apis/drug/event/"},"license":{"name":"Public domain (U.S. government work); source U.S. Food and Drug Administration, openFDA","url":"https://open.fda.gov/license/"},"data_as_of":"2026-09-30","updated_at":"2026-11-03T17:24:42.692Z","url":"https://chart.ly/charts/lisinopril-side-effects-reported","api_url":"https://chart.ly/api/v1/charts/lisinopril-side-effects-reported","csv_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/lisinopril-side-effects-reported/data.csv","image_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/lisinopril-side-effects-reported/image.png","embed_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/lisinopril-side-effects-reported/embed","credit":"U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) via openFDA, via Chartly (https://chart.ly/charts/lisinopril-side-effects-reported)","credit_html":"U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) via openFDA, via \u003ca href=\"https://chart.ly/charts/lisinopril-side-effects-reported\"\u003eChartly\u003c/a\u003e","average_label":null,"zero_axis":true,"data":[{"label":"Fatigue","value":20635},{"label":"Nausea","value":19219},{"label":"Diarrhea","value":17984},{"label":"Shortness of breath","value":14412},{"label":"Pain","value":14134},{"label":"Dizziness","value":14083},{"label":"Headache","value":13511},{"label":"Vomiting","value":11457},{"label":"Weakness","value":11308},{"label":"Joint pain","value":10026},{"label":"Acute kidney injury","value":9743},{"label":"Falls","value":9428},{"label":"Chronic kidney disease","value":9181},{"label":"High blood pressure","value":9001},{"label":"Rash","value":8891}],"annotations":[]},"docs":"https://chart.ly/developers","terms":"Free to use with credit: wherever you show or quote a chart's data, name Chartly with a link to that chart's url (each chart's credit line does both) and credit its source as its license asks.","credit":"U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) via openFDA, via Chartly (https://chart.ly/charts/lisinopril-side-effects-reported)"}
