Lisinopril and Pregnancy. A recent study on lisinopril and pregnancy showed that the drug may pose a risk to the fetus at any stage of pregnancy -- not just the second and third trimesters. Complications seen in fetuses or newborns exposed to lisinopril during pregnancy include kidney failure, developmental problems, and loss of life.
Effects on Creatinine and Potassium. The most notable side effect experience by patients using lisinopril is a mild increase in serum creatinine. Since serum creatinine is a marker for kidney disease, patients mistakenly believe their kidney function is worsening. This side effect goes away when the drug is stopped.
