It doesn't matter too much what time of day you take the Lisinopril but it is a good idea to take it at the same time every day ie. at 24 hour intervals. If you are just starting treatment with Lisinopril it is probably a good idea to take the tablets in the evening with a meal to reduce side-effects. It is worth knowing that when first starting lisinopril it can lower the blood-pressure significantly and you need to be careful when getting out of bed or off the couch etc ie. get up slowly to avoid dizziness.

I was given Lisinopril in an EA at 12 noon and I feel poorly for a few hours after I take it how can I change it to evening. By the comments made here it sounds wiser.
I am a pharmacist,Lisinopril is better taken in the mornings on an empty stomach (better bioavailability)... ie the percentage of the drug reaching your blood is much more when taken without food,and hence a better action of the medication... moreover if Lisinopril has a diuretic with it, you will need to go to the bathroom several times... take care it MAY cause dry cough
