Lisinopril 5 mg with 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide BP at the desired level. However, considerable lower back muscle pain, spreading into buttocks, thighs and calves. Initially only took hydrochlorothiazide, limited muscle pain. After that I was just on Lisinopril and the muscle pain got worse. After seeing other reviews, got Lisinopril from the pharmacist via the GP. After a few days still had limited muscle pain, then after 3 weeks no muscle pain but severe diarrhoea. Solved this by starting to take the Lisinopril with my evening meal. So now I take 5 mg Lisinopril with my food and 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide in the mornings with breakfast high BP under control and no more side effects.
