The short answer is YES. It happened to my mother, and it grew back after she stopped it. Also, its HAPPENING TO ME. Most doctors don't recognize that Lisinopril CAN cause Thinning hair or Hair Loss; until the do the research. It's a very rare side effect, and (I'm guessing here) probably not recognized as the medication causing it sometimes.
However, it is listed by many experts as a side effect by medical professionals in medical articles.
The hair will grow back when the medication is stopped. I may take a while though, like a month or two. Right now I'm the guy walking around with no eyebrows, and shave only once every two weeks. Hope to back to normal in a couple of months.

∙ 13y agoI went on Fosinopril after being on beta blockers. The beta blockers made my hair shed like crazy. It seemed to dissipate with Fosinopril but what I found was after 3 years on it I had diffuse hair loss but it was slower, more subtle than the previous drug. I then went on Diovan, it made me shed like crazy - has slowed down but I notice my hair is now really dry and brittle.
