Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lisinopril (Prinivil) can cause neutropenia, so a white blood cell count with differential should be monitored monthly for the first 3 to 6 months of therapy. Platelet count, international normalized ratio, and partial thromboplastin time are not affected by lisinopril therapy.
