No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Multivitamins 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.

Multivitamins 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 Multivitamins 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 Multivitamins 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 Multivitamins and Lisinopril May Share a Side Effect

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.

  • Constipation Additional detail

    Lisinopril

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Lisinopril. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Multivitamins but not commonly for Lisinopril: a bowel blockage.

Effects for Lisinopril come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Multivitamins come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 313,746 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Lisinopril that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Special populations

Multivitamins in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Lactation Likely Safe

When multivitamins specifically formulated for pregnancy or lactation are used orally and appropriately. A multivitamin containing nutrients in amounts that do not exceed Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) during pregnancy or lactation should be safe in this population. Keep in mind that people consuming other sources of nutrients in addition to a multivitamin should use caution not to exceed tolerable upper intake levels (ULs) of these nutrients. Consuming nutrients in amounts above the ULs increases the risk of adverse effects. See the Prenatal Vitamins monograph for information about multivitamins specifically formulated for use during pregnancy.

Overlapping uses

What Lisinopril Is Prescribed For, and What Multivitamins Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Lisinopril is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Multivitamins is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Lisinopril is prescribed for: 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).

Multivitamins has been studied for:

  • Stroke studied, not established Multivitamins has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Multivitamins for stroke

    It is unclear if oral multivitamins are beneficial for preventing stroke.

  • Hypertension studied, not established Multivitamins has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Multivitamins for hypertension

    It is unclear if oral multivitamins reduce the risk of hypertension.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Lisinopril on your own; if you are taking Multivitamins for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

About Multivitamins

What is Multivitamins?

  • Filling nutrient gaps in the diet
  • General wellness support
  • Pregnancy nutrition (with prenatal versions)
  • Supporting older adults' nutrition
  • Energy and immune support (popular belief)

Multivitamins are combination supplements that provide many vitamins and minerals in one product, and they can help cover nutrient gaps for people who don't get enough from food. For most healthy adults who eat a balanced diet, the proven health benefits are modest, but certain groups—such as pregnant people, older adults, and those with restricted diets—may benefit more. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor to choose a product that fits your needs and avoid taking too much of any single nutrient.

Tablets, capsules, gummies, chewables, liquids, powders

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

Multivitamins: dosing

There is no single "correct" dose for multivitamins because each product contains a different mix of nutrients. Most are designed to provide amounts at or near the recommended daily intake for common vitamins and minerals.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not take more than one daily serving unless told to by a healthcare provider. Avoid combining several supplements that contain the same nutrients, since this can push you above safe limits.Your pharmacist can help you pick a product matched to your age, sex, and health needs, and check that it won't overlap with other supplements you take.

Taking Multivitamins and Lisinopril Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Multivitamins with Lisinopril?
We do not list a known interaction between Multivitamins and Lisinopril. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Multivitamins and Lisinopril have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Are Multivitamins and Lisinopril used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Multivitamins in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Lisinopril is being adjusted to a target.
Does Lisinopril interact with any supplements?
Yes. Lisinopril has documented interactions with 167 supplements in our database — Multivitamins is not one of them. The Lisinopril interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
