If you have recently had a heart attack (myocardial infarction). To treat kidney problems caused by Type II diabetes in people with high blood pressure. Zestril works by making your blood vessels widen. This helps to lower your blood pressure. It also makes it easier for your heart to pump blood to all parts of your body. 2.Before you take Zestril Do not take Zestril if: You are allergic (hypersensitive) to lisinopril or any of the other ingredients of Zestril (listed in Section 6: Further information). You have ever had an allergic reaction to another ACE inhibitor medicine. The allergic reaction may have caused swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, face, lips, tongue or throat. It may also have made it difficult to swallow or breathe (angioedema). A member of your family has had severe allergic reactions (angioedema) to an ACEinhibitor or you have had severe allergic reactions (angioedema) without a known cause.
