Lisinopril belongs to a class of medicines known as Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors.
How It Works
Lisinopril works by blocking the action of the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE), which is responsible for producing angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow. By reducing angiotensin II levels, Lipril relaxes and widens blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow throughout the body.
This action helps reduce the workload on the heart and provides protection to the kidneys, particularly in patients with diabetes and hypertension.
