Relaxation Therapy 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 Relaxation Therapy in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Relaxation Therapy alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Relaxation Therapy 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.

Relaxation Therapy is a practice rather than something you take. Ask your care team whether the type and intensity you plan to practice are appropriate for your health and treatment. 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 Relaxation Therapy. 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 practice Relaxation Therapy and take the medicine. 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. Relaxation Therapy’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Relaxation Therapy side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Relaxation Therapy has no side effects.

About Relaxation Therapy

What is Relaxation Therapy?

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Chronic pain
  • High blood pressure
  • Headaches
  • Calming before medical procedures

Relaxation therapy is a group of mind-body techniques—like deep breathing, guided imagery, and progressive muscle relaxation—used to reduce stress and promote calm. It is low-risk for most people and has moderate evidence for easing anxiety, stress, and some pain or sleep problems. It is best used alongside, not instead of, standard medical care.

Not applicable (mind-body practice) · Guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing, autogenic training, biofeedback, meditation

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

Relaxation Therapy: dosing

There is no standardized "dose" for relaxation therapy. Many programs suggest practicing for about 10 to 20 minutes once or twice a day, but what matters most is regular, consistent practice.You can use guided apps, audio recordings, classes, or work one-on-one with a therapist or biofeedback specialist.

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
Dyspnea 14,363 reports
Dizziness 13,969 reports
