The main benefit of an ACE inhibitor is to reduce blood pressure. It accomplishes this by blocking enzyme activity that causes blood vessels to constrict.
cough
ACE inhibitors also may be used to treat congestive heart failure
ACE-inhibitors cause an increase in bradykinin, this can cause a dry cough in some patients.
They are also called Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors
They also called ACE inhibitors
ace inhibitors
Ace inhibitors or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors block an enzyme which narrows blood vessels and and reduces blood pressure. Some are combined with a diuretic. Benazepril, captrolil, and enalpril are some of the generics.
An ACE inhibitor (short for Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme inhibitor) is one of a class of blood pressure-lowering drugs, which cause the arteries to widen by preventing the synthesis on angiotensin.
Because MAO inhibitors also affect other chemicals throughout the body, these drugs may produce many unwanted side effects.
ACE inhibitors primarily affect afterload by causing vasodilation, which reduces systemic vascular resistance. This action can lower blood pressure and decrease the workload on the heart. While they may have some indirect effects on preload by reducing fluid retention, their main impact is on afterload reduction.
It is generally advised to avoid grapefruit and grapefruit extract while taking ACE inhibitors. Grapefruit can interfere with the metabolism of certain medications, potentially increasing their effects and leading to adverse reactions. Always consult a healthcare professional before combining grapefruit products with any medication.
i think its the Lotensin
