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. Safflower 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).

Safflower has been studied for:

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

  Safflower for hypertension

  It is unclear if oral safflower oil is beneficial for reducing blood pressure; the available research is conflicting.

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

  Safflower for stroke

  Small clinical studies suggest that intravenous safflower yellow, a constituent of safflower flower, as an adjunct to conventional treatments, may improve neurological outcomes post-stroke.

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

  Safflower for myocardial infarction

  Intravenous safflower yellow, a component of safflower flower, might improve outcomes when used as an adjunct to conventional therapy for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

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 Safflower for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Out of every supplement and medication people look up on HelloPharmacist, here is where these two land this week — and which way each has been moving.

Position among everything looked up on this site, not a measure of how commonly either one is used or how important it is. A supplement can climb this list because of a news story. It counts every request to the page, automated ones included, and nothing here identifies anyone.

Natural Medicines records Lisinopril as a medicine that can lower these. This is not an interaction with Safflower — it is a separate effect of the medicine, and it is a reason some people are advised to supplement rather than to avoid one:
