Lisinopril is what I take and a my black buddy as well. We have some similar side effects. Color makes no difference.

Same as "white we are all the same types of blood.

What is good for white is good for black.  You ask this question because you are a quack as your name indicates?

YOU came to US, now it's our fault ??? but, yet you've researched this but, yet, I guess your still questioning everyones answer an, I bet your Doctor.  ARE you looking for a pity party or a hand-out, because you keep repeating about being BLACK as others told you SKIN COLOR DOESN"T PREDICT/INDICATE SPECIAL DRUGS, so get a life and LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR AND QUIT CRYING!!!!!!!!

Why don't you cut the attitude,people have responded to you and you have became abusive.What's your problem ?

Those tiny white pills.

Get a life quack. This is just an opinion site where questions are answered by common ordinary people. Anyone seeking qualified medical advise here is rather ignorant. I'm sorry you came here also.

What is the answer your looking for ? maybe you could educate us.

Quack, here's the problem, "You supposedly almost died from this med. that numerous people take including me, now if, you had a reaction it's not from being BLACK or BLACK/WHITE mixed or WHITE, it's just something that happens with all sorts of things MEDS., FOOD, ETC. NOT RACE.  Any who, if you had this reaction then, your Doc. already knows an has more than likely prescribed something else but, you're still looking for something or someone to jump up and say, NO, NO DON'T TAKE THIS USE THIS, WE'RE NOT DOCTORS, YES SOME OF US HAS HAD MEDICAL TRAINING BUT, WE CAN'T DIAGNOSE OR PRESCRIBE MEDS> IF, you question your DOCTORS TREATMENT then seek a SECOND OPINION.

Do your reseach on matters here when answering serious people. I can't believe how )**&^*(&* some can be.. This is not good site to seek medical advice or knowledge from.

From Drugs.com: Angioedema: Angioedema has been reported in patients receiving Lisinopril with an incidence higher in Black than in non-Black patients. Angioedema associated with laryngeal edema may be fatal. If angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis and/or larynx occurs, treatment with Lisinopril should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted immediately.

Get a life people.  I'm sorry I even came to this stupid site seeking bad advice. Some people truly don't know what to say or comment unless it's up against the wall crap. if you do take this med and this had or is happening to more black people they may want to seek help. I'm sorry for even caring.
