Hello,
I am looking for some information as to whether anyone who as taken Zestril
(lisinopril for High Blood pressure has experienced a lowered white cell
count and or dysphagia as long term side effects. I have taken the
medication for about 2 years now and recently have begun to have these
problems. My doctor has been very little help and all other tests keep
coming out normal, so I am beginning to point to the Zestril.
If anyone has had these or similar side effects can you share your
experiences

Be sure to check the prescribing information — get the package insert
from your druggist, or look it up in the PDR at the library.
I’ve had no problem in five years, but presumably almost anything can
happen to _someone_.

Check out this web page on Zestril:

In it, they do say that lowered white blood cell count is a possible,
if rare, side effect.
Good luck,

A very rare side effects of Zestril. Switching to another type of
ACE-inhibitor might help the problem.
