No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Prenatal Vitamins 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.

Prenatal Vitamins 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 Prenatal Vitamins 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 Prenatal Vitamins 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 Lisinopril’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Prenatal Vitamins. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Lisinopril’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • Pain or burning when passing urine Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on
  • High potassium Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on
  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 79 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Lisinopril. Read the label on DailyMed › 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. Prenatal Vitamins’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Prenatal Vitamins side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Prenatal Vitamins has no side effects.

Special populations

Prenatal Vitamins in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Likely Safe

When used orally. Prenatal vitamins contain many different minerals, vitamins, and sometimes other dietary supplement ingredients. Each individual ingredient has a unique safety profile. Clinical studies evaluating prenatal vitamins show that prenatal vitamins are safe when used appropriately during pregnancy.

Lactation Possibly Safe

When used orally. Prenatal vitamins usually do not contain ingredients in amounts that exceed the tolerable upper intake level (UL). The UL is the highest level of nutrient intake that is unlikely to have a risk of adverse effects for most people, as determined by the Food and Nutrition Board and the National Academies of Science. Therefore, prenatal vitamins have apparent safety during lactation. However, high quality research assessing the safety of prenatal vitamins during lactation is lacking.

About Prenatal Vitamins

What is Prenatal Vitamins?

  • Nutritional support before and during pregnancy
  • Preventing neural tube defects (folic acid)
  • Supporting healthy fetal development
  • Preventing iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy
  • Support during breastfeeding

Prenatal vitamins are multivitamin-mineral supplements designed to fill nutritional gaps before and during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, with folic acid and iron being especially important. They are widely recommended by doctors, but they do not replace a healthy diet, and you should choose a product and dose with guidance from your pharmacist or doctor.

Tablets, capsules, soft gels, chewables, gummies, liquids

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

Prenatal Vitamins: dosing

There is no single "correct" prenatal vitamin, since products differ in their ingredients and amounts. Most are taken once daily, but some require more than one tablet or a separate DHA softgel.

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.

Fatigue 20,515 reports
Nausea 19,130 reports
Diarrhea 17,858 reports
