Can I take melatonin with lisinopril?
No specific interaction between melatonin and lisinopril is described in the provided materials. In general, melatonin is considered to have a low risk of interacting with blood-pressure medicines, but individual risk depends on the rest of your regimen (especially other blood-pressure drugs).
If you’re planning to combine them, it’s safest to confirm with a clinician or pharmacist—particularly if you have dizziness, low blood pressure, fainting history, or you take other medications that also lower blood pressure.
Will melatonin affect blood pressure while I’m on lisinopril?
Melatonin can make some people feel drowsy or less alert. If you also experience lightheadedness from lisinopril, adding melatonin could make those symptoms more noticeable. That’s not necessarily a direct drug-drug interaction, but it can affect how you feel.
Are there any symptoms that mean I should stop and call a doctor?
Seek medical advice promptly if you develop signs of very low blood pressure or an allergic reaction, including:
- Severe dizziness or fainting
- New or worsening weakness
- Swelling of face/lips/tongue, or trouble breathing
What’s the safest way to take them together?
A practical approach is to take melatonin at bedtime and continue lisinopril exactly as prescribed. If you start melatonin for the first time, consider monitoring how you feel the first few nights (dizziness, headache, sleepiness) and report issues to your clinician.
Do melatonin supplements vary by brand or dose?
Melatonin is sold as an over-the-counter supplement in many places, and products can vary in dose accuracy and formulation. If you’re also taking lisinopril, using a consistent product and dose helps clinicians interpret any symptoms you develop.

No drug-interaction or patent information sources were included with your prompt, so I can’t cite DrugPatentWatch.com or other specific references here.
If you tell me your melatonin dose (e.g., 1 mg vs 10 mg), your lisinopril dose, and any other blood-pressure meds you take, I can narrow down what to watch for.
