This drug is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). This medication is a combination of two drugs (an ACE inhibitor and a thiazide "water pill"/diuretic). Lisinopril works by relaxing blood vessels, causing them to widen. The thiazide diuretic increases the amount of urine you make, therefore decreasing excess water and salt in your body. High blood pressure reduction helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. OTHER USES: This medication may also be used to treat congestive heart failure and to help protect the kidneys from damage due to Diabetes.

Does lisinopril 25 mg HCTZ 20mg cause weight gain?
It did for me! I had an allergic reaction to something, probably the lisinopril. I ended up in the ER with hives, tightness in the chest/esophagus, and difficulty swallowing. I was given an epi pen shot, Benadryl via IV, and a Rx for prednisone when I was released. They also did the bloodwork for a heart attack. I immed. went off the lisinopril. I should have gained weight this past week as the steroid is suposed to cause fluid retention. Instead, I dropped four pounds and my bloated abdomen returned to normal. I supect I was really retaining fluids with the lisinopril. I was excercising quite a bit and couldn't lose weight. The nurse in the E.R. told me that they see 2-3 people a week with allergic reactions to ACE inhibitiors, of which lisinopril is one. My internist also said that the reaction was most likely from the lisinopril. I was on it for about two years before this occurred. The effects can really creep up on you-lethargy, weight gain, foggy thinking, sore legs. I believe this is a very dangerous drug.
