Do lisinopril cause cancer?

My doctor recently prescribed lisinopril for my high blood pressure. My neighbour told me some BP meds can increase cancer risk. Is there any truth to this with lisinopril?

There is no strong medical proof that Lisinopril directly causes cancer. It is a widely prescribed, FDA-approved medicine for controlling blood pressure. Please do not stop taking your prescribed heart medication based on random rumors, as high BP is far more dangerous.

Don't worry, there is no solid scientific evidence linking lisinopril to cancer. Keep taking your meds as your doctor advised.

I tried curing my high blood pressure with rudraksha beads and hibiscus tea, but my readings stayed dangerously high. My doctor put me on Lisinopril and it saved me. It is a safe medicine with no cancer risk, so please don't stop it without medical advice.

I once stopped my blood pressure medication because of some fake internet scare, and I ended up in the ICU with a minor stroke. Please don't make the same mistake. Discuss any fears about Lisinopril directly with your doctor during your next checkup.

Lisinopril is a very affordable and effective BP medicine. Stopping it out of fear might lead to expensive emergency hospitalizations for hypertension. Instead of worrying, just spend a little on regular kidney and potassium blood tests every six months to monitor your health.

My father has been taking Lisinopril for over eight years for his hypertension. We also got scared seeing some online articles, but his cardiologist assured us it is completely safe. Don't worry, just keep doing his routine blood tests as advised.

While controlling BP with garlic, less salt, and yoga is very good, you should never stop your BP tablets suddenly. Lisinopril is generally safe and doesn't cause cancer. If you feel any sudden chest heaviness or breathing difficulty, please go to the hospital immediately.
