The conversion from Captopril (in equally divided daily doses) to lisinopril (once daily) at a dosage ratio of 5:1 maintained comparable control of mild-to-moderate hypertension with

Once the patient has been stabilized on captopril, this may eventually be transitioned to an equivalent dose of lisinopril using a 5:1 conversion (the total daily dose of captopril divided by five will approximate an equivalent lisinopril dose)
The cause of this toxicity is thought to be due to foetal Captopril is also used to treat kidney disease (nephropathy) caused by diabetes in patients with type 1 diabetes and retinopathy (eye disease)
5 – 40mg daily Perindopril 2 – 8 mg daily The conversion from Captopril to lisinopril at a daily oral dosage ratio of 5:1 maintained comparable control of mild-to-moderate hypertension with no increase in adverse effects, and the conversion provided a preferred once-daily dosing regimen
Initial dose depends upon patient's fluid/electrolyte status

As measured by clinic pressures, lisinopril also achieved a considerably higher degree of blood pressure control with less dose titration
Your dose will be unique depending on how well it works for you
