Drug & supplement interaction

Bog Bilberry + Lisinopril

Lisinopril brand names: Zestril, Prinivil, Qbrelis.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Bog Bilberry and Lisinopril in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Bog Bilberry and Lisinopril

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Lisinopril and Bog Bilberry in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Bog Bilberry at all — not against Lisinopril, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Bog Bilberry and Lisinopril May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

  • Nausea / Vomiting reported in 6.1% of FDA reports for Lisinopril Additional detail

    Bog Bilberry

    “Orally, poisonings from the ingestion of large quantities of the bog bilberry fruit are rare and were thought to be due to contamination with a fungus, Sclerroyina megalospora, that sometimes grows on bog bilberry (18). The symptoms of poisoning include queasiness and vomiting (18).”

About Bog Bilberry

What is Bog Bilberry?

  • Antioxidant support
  • Eye and vision health
  • Circulation and blood vessel health
  • General wellness
  • Anti-inflammatory support

Bog bilberry is a wild blueberry-relative rich in antioxidant pigments called anthocyanins, and people use it much like its better-known cousin, the European bilberry. As a food it is generally safe, but there is little high-quality human research showing it treats any specific health condition. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated supplements, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Vaccinium uliginosum · Ericaceae · Berries (fruit); sometimes leaves · Fresh or dried berries, juice, jams, extracts, capsules, teas

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Bog Bilberry is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Bog Bilberry record says about it on its own.

Bog Bilberry: dosing

There is no established standard dose for bog bilberry as a supplement. As a food, you can simply enjoy the berries the way you would blueberries.If you choose a supplement, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Lisinopril

What Is Lisinopril Used For?

Brand names: Zestril, Prinivil, Qbrelis

Lisinopril treats high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children 6 years and older, and can be used alone or alongside other blood pressure medicines. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of strokes and heart attacks. The tablet combination product containing lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide is specifically indicated for high blood pressure.

Lisinopril is also used as an add-on therapy to reduce signs and symptoms of systolic heart failure, and to reduce the risk of death in people who are hemodynamically stable (have reasonably stable circulation) within 24 hours of an acute heart attack (acute myocardial infarction).

Most-Reported Side Effects for Lisinopril

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (313,746 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Taking Bog Bilberry and Lisinopril Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Bog Bilberry with Lisinopril?

Do Bog Bilberry and Lisinopril have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other.
