FAQ

Lisinopril cost questions

How much does lisinopril cost with insurance?
Most commercially insured patients pay $0–$10/month for lisinopril. As a Tier 1 generic on virtually all plans, copays are minimal and often lower than cash prices. No prior authorization is required.
What is the cheapest pharmacy for lisinopril?
Walmart's $4 generic list covers lisinopril at $4 for a 30-day supply. Costplus Drug Company sells it at similar low prices. GoodRx coupons can bring cash prices below $10/month at most major pharmacies.
Is lisinopril available as a generic?
Lisinopril IS the generic name. The brand names are Prinivil and Zestril, both rarely prescribed today since the generic is so inexpensive. All forms contain the same active ingredient at the same strengths.
How does lisinopril compare to losartan?
Lisinopril (ACE inhibitor) and losartan (ARB) are both first-line blood pressure medications. Losartan is often preferred when lisinopril causes a chronic cough side effect. Both are Tier 1 generics with similar low costs ($4–$10/month).
Does Medicare cover lisinopril?
Yes — lisinopril is on every Medicare Part D plan's formulary at Tier 1 with minimal copays. Many plans waive the copay entirely for generic blood pressure medications.
What dosage of lisinopril is most common?
Lisinopril is dosed once daily, with 10mg and 20mg being the most common strengths. The 5mg, 30mg, and 40mg forms are also available. Cost is the same regardless of strength for most plans.
Can I get lisinopril without insurance?
Yes — at $4/month from Walmart's generic list or similar cash prices at Costplus and most major chains, lisinopril is affordable without insurance. GoodRx coupons can sometimes beat even these low prices.
What conditions does lisinopril treat?
Lisinopril is FDA-approved for hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and improving survival after a heart attack. It's commonly prescribed for kidney protection in diabetes patients with proteinuria.
