Lisinopril tablets come in various shapes, sizes, and colors depending on the manufacturer and dosage. You might find them as oblong, oval, or round tablets. Colors commonly include white, off-white, or yellowish-white. Some may have score lines to facilitate breaking the tablet for easier swallowing.
Dosage significantly impacts size. Higher dosages generally result in larger tablets. Therefore, a 10mg tablet will likely be smaller than a 40mg tablet from the same manufacturer.
Manufacturer differences are crucial to note. Different pharmaceutical companies produce lisinopril, and each may have slightly different manufacturing processes, leading to variations in appearance. Check the packaging for the specific brand’s characteristics.
Always refer to your prescription for the correct dosage and visually compare the tablet to what’s indicated on the label and patient information leaflet supplied by your pharmacist. If you have any doubts about the appearance of your medication, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Variations in color might also occur due to slight differences in the inactive ingredients used in the tablet’s formulation. These ingredients don’t affect the medication’s efficacy but might cause minor differences in shading.
