Lisinopril belongs to the class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors). Lisinopril is indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It is also prescribed for patients with diabetes to prevent both heart and kidney damage that can result from diabetes.
