ACE INHIBITORS
Angiotensin is a hormone in the body that causes blood vessels to narrow. The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors decrease the production of angiotensin and, in turn, that helps lower blood pressure. Examples of ACE inhibitors include:
Benazepril hydrochloride (Lotensin)
Captopril (Capoten)
Enalapril Maleate (Vasotec)
Fosinopril sodium (Monopril)
Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)
Moexipril (Univasc)
Perindopril (Aceon)
Quinapril hydrochloride (Accupril)
Ramipril (Altace)
Trandolapril (Mavik)
