Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Lisinopril 2 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation that is utilized in the treatment of various health conditions such as hypertension, congestive heart failure, and myocardial infarction. This medication is a blend of lisinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, and a suspension vehicle. The primary function of lisinopril is to inhibit the action of the ACE enzyme, which in turn aids in reducing blood pressure and enhancing blood flow. The suspension vehicle plays a crucial role in ensuring that the medication is uniformly distributed throughout the body, providing a homogeneous mixture for administration.

Its ease of administration and minimal side effects make it a preferred choice for many. However, it is essential to note that lisinopril should not be administered to patients with a history of angioedema or hypersensitivity to ACE inhibitors.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are dedicated to delivering the highest quality compounded medications to our patients. We understand the importance of personalized medication and strive to provide the best possible care. If you have any queries or concerns about Lisinopril 2 mg/ml Oral Suspension or any other compounded medications, we encourage you to reach out to us. We are here to assist you with all your medication needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Lisinopril 2 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a liquid dosage form that provides a homogeneous mixture for administration. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and myocardial infarction. In certain cases, it may also be used to reduce the risk of stroke.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used in patients with a history of angioedema or hypersensitivity to lisinopril or any other ACE inhibitor. Special caution should be exercised when administering this formulation to patients with renal impairment, as it may increase the risk of hyperkalemia, a condition characterized by high potassium levels in the blood.

This formulation may cause a decrease in blood pressure, so patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of hypotension. Furthermore, this formulation may interact with other medications, including diuretics, potassium-sparing diuretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

It is essential for patients to inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking prior to starting this formulation. This is to ensure that there are no potential drug interactions that could affect the efficacy of the treatment or cause adverse effects. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Lisinopril 2 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded medication designed to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease. This oral suspension medication functions by inhibiting the action of certain natural substances that constrict the blood vessels. This action facilitates smoother blood flow and more efficient heart pumping. Additionally, lisinopril aids in reducing the body's fluid content by promoting increased urine production.

For patients, it is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider. The typical initial dose is 2 mg/ml once daily, which can be taken with or without food. Consistency in the timing of the medication is essential to maintain a steady level of the drug in your system. It is also recommended to stay well-hydrated while on this medication to prevent dehydration.

For healthcare providers, it is important to note that lisinopril should be administered with caution in patients with kidney disease, as it may exacerbate kidney damage. Similarly, caution is advised in patients with congestive heart failure, as the condition could potentially worsen. Regular monitoring of patients for signs of deteriorating heart failure, such as breathlessness, swelling of the feet and ankles, and weight gain, is crucial.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
