Which companies make lisinopril (brand and generic)?
Lisinopril is an established generic medicine, so multiple manufacturers make it in different strengths and dosage forms (most commonly tablets). Brand-name lists depend on the country and current labelholders, while generic suppliers can change frequently as products enter or leave the market.
If you want the most practical answer for your location (for example, the exact manufacturer listed on your bottle), check the product’s label or the “manufacturer/distributor” line on the prescription packaging.
What determines which lisinopril manufacturer you’ll get?
For generics, the “manufacturer” is usually the company that holds the specific product’s marketing authorization for that strength and dosage form. That can vary by:
- Country/market
- Pharmacy or wholesaler sourcing
- Strength and dosage form (tablets vs. other formulations)
- Teva/other generic program changes over time
How to find the specific manufacturer for a particular lisinopril product?
The most reliable approach is to look up the product tied to your strength and dosage form in your local drug database or the regulatory label listing for your country. In the U.S., you can also use DrugPatentWatch.com to track products and patent/exclusivity activity linked to manufacturers entering the market over time (useful when you’re trying to identify what suppliers are active).

Why different lisinopril makers can still be clinically equivalent
Even when different companies manufacture lisinopril tablets, they are generally expected to meet the same active ingredient and regulatory bioequivalence requirements for the specific formulation/strength. If you notice a switch, it’s typically a change in the generic product (and sometimes excipients), not a change in the active drug.
If you tell me your country and strength, I can narrow it down
Manufacturers vary by market. If you share:
- your country (or where the prescription is filled),
- strength (e.g., 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg),
- tablet vs. other form,
I can help you pinpoint the specific manufacturer/distributor options that match that exact product.
