Lisinopril
+ Food
The following applies to the ingredients: Lisinopril
It is recommended that if you are taking lisinopril you should be advised to avoid moderately high or high potassium dietary intake. This can cause high levels of potassium in your blood. Do not use salt substitutes or potassium supplements while taking lisinopril, unless your doctor has told you to.
The following applies to the ingredients: Lisinopril
Lisinopril and ethanol may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. These side effects are most likely to be seen at the beginning of treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after an interruption. Let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms and they do not go away after a few days or they become troublesome. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Drug and Pregnancy Interactions
Major
Lisinopril
+ Pregnancy
The following applies to the ingredients: Lisinopril
Professional Content
AU: Use is contraindicated.
UK: Use is not recommended during the first trimester and use is contraindicated during the second and third trimesters.
US: This drug should not be used during pregnancy unless there are no alternatives and the benefit outweighs the risk to the fetus.
AU TGA pregnancy category: D
US FDA pregnancy category: Not assigned
Risk Summary: Use of drugs that act on the renin angiotensin system (RAS) during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy increases fetal and neonatal morbidity and death.
Comments:
-Adequate methods of contraception should be encouraged.
-Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus.
Animal studies have revealed evidence of fetotoxicity. In humans, exposure to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors during the second and third trimesters has revealed evidence of fetal and neonatal toxicity and fetolethality. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy.
AU TGA pregnancy category D: Drugs which have caused, are suspected to have caused or may be expected to cause, an increased incidence of human fetal malformations or irreversible damage. These drugs may also have adverse pharmacological effects. Accompanying texts should be consulted for further details.
US FDA pregnancy category Not Assigned: The US FDA has amended the pregnancy labeling rule for prescription drug products to require labeling that includes a summary of risk, a discussion of the data supporting that summary, and relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy. Pregnancy categories A, B, C, D, and X are being phased out.

Singulair
+ Pregnancy
The following applies to the ingredients: Montelukast (found in Singulair)
Professional Content
The manufacturer makes no recommendation regarding use during pregnancy.
AU TGA pregnancy category: B1
US FDA pregnancy category: Not assigned
Comments:
-Available data from decades of studies have not established a drug-associated increase in major birth defects when used during pregnancy.
-Animal studies at up to 110 times the maximum recommended human daily oral dose administered during organogenesis did not show adverse developmental effects.
-Poorly or moderately controlled asthma increases maternal risk and the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes (e.g. preeclampsia, prematurity, low birth weight, small for gestational age).
Animal studies of oral administration during organogenesis at up to 110 times the maximum recommended human daily oral dose did not cause any averse developmental effects. Human data from prospective and retrospective cohort studies have not identified an increase in major birth defects when this drug was used during pregnancy; limitations of the studies include small sample size, retrospective data collection, and inconsistent comparator groups. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. The background birth defect and miscarriage risk for the indicated population is not known. In the US general population, the estimated major birth defect risk is 2 to 4% and the miscarriage risk is 15 to 20%.
AU TGA pregnancy category B1: Drugs which have been taken by only a limited number of pregnant women and women of childbearing age, without an increase in the frequency of malformation or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the human fetus having been observed. Studies in animals have not shown evidence of an increased occurrence of fetal damage.
US FDA pregnancy category Not Assigned: The US FDA has amended the pregnancy labeling rule for prescription drug products to require labeling that includes a summary of risk, a discussion of the data supporting that summary, and relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy. Pregnancy categories A, B, C, D, and X are being phased out.
