What’s the typical price of lisinopril 5 mg tablets?
Prices for generic lisinopril 5 mg tablets vary a lot by:
- Pharmacy (independent vs. chain)
- Quantity (e.g., 30 vs. 90 tablets)
- Dosage form/strength (tablet, generic vs. brand—lisinopril is typically generic)
- Location and any discounts (cash vs. insurance)
To get an accurate current price, you usually need to check a live pharmacy list for your ZIP code and quantity.
How can I find the cheapest cash price near me?
The fastest way is to compare current cash prices across multiple pharmacies (or use a prescription discount card if you’re not using insurance). Search using the exact wording:
- “lisinopril 5 mg tablet” + your quantity (commonly 30 or 90)
Then compare prices by pharmacy and choose the lowest.
Is lisinopril 5 mg covered by insurance?
Most lisinopril is generic, so many plans cover it with a low copay. Your price will depend on:
- Your plan formulary tier
- Whether your plan requires prior authorization (less common for a standard generic like lisinopril)
- Your deductible status
Is this related to patents or brand exclusivity?
Lisinopril is off-patent in most markets, so pricing is generally driven by generic competition rather than patent exclusivity.

If you tell me your pharmacy and quantity, can you estimate a price range?
Yes. Share:
- Your ZIP code (or country)
- Quantity (30, 60, 90, etc.)
- Whether you want cash price or insurance copay
- The pharmacy name(s) you use
and I can help narrow down what you should expect and what to compare.
