Eprosartan is a type of drug called a sartan that works by stopping the angiotensin II hormone from activating a receptor in the body that normally leads to a slight increase in blood pressure. When you take eprosartan, the hormone can’t work as usual and your blood pressure gets lower, which is useful in the treatment […]

How do Sartans work?

Sartans are a group of drugs that work in the same way in the body and are also sometimes known as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) or angiotensin receptor antagonist (ARA). These drugs help to lower the blood pressure in the body by stopping a hormone called angiotensin II from binding to a receptor that usually […]

How does Trandolapril work?

Trandolapril is a type of drug called an ACE inhibitor that works by stopping the angiotensin II hormone from being produced. In a healthy person, this hormone is usually produced when the blood pressure is slightly lower than usual, to help increase the blood pressure back into the normal range. As trandolapril stops it from being formed, […]

How Does Ramipril Work?

Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor, which is a type of drug that works by stopping the production of the angiotensin II hormone. This hormone usually causes the blood pressure to increase in the body, so when ramipril stops it from being formed as usual, the blood pressure will decrease, which is useful in the treatment of […]

How Does Quinapril Work?

Quinapril is a type of drug called an ACE inhibitor that works by stopping the production of the angiotensin II hormone, which usually causes the blood pressure to increase in the body. When quinapril stops the hormone from being formed as usual, the blood pressure decreases, which can help in the treatment of hypertension.

How Does Perindopril Work?

Perindopril is a type of drug called an ACE inhibitor that works by stopping the angiotensin II hormone from being produced, which usually causes the blood pressure to increase. When it stops the hormone from being formed, the blood pressure gets lower and can help to manage hypertension.

How does Lisinopril Work?

Lisinopril is a type of drug called an ACE inhibitor that works by stopping the angiotensin II hormone from being produced, which usually causes the blood pressure to increase. When lisinopril stops it from being formed, the blood pressure gets lower to manage hypertension.

How does Fosinopril work?

Fosinopril is a type of drug called an ACE inhibitor that helps to lower the blood pressure by stopping the angiotensin II hormone from being produced. Angiotensin II usually causes the blood pressure to increase, so when fosinopril stops its formation, the blood pressure gets lower.

How does Enalapril Work?

Enalapril is a type of drug called an ACE inhibitor, which works to lower the blood pressure by stopping the formation of the angiotensin II hormone. Angiotensin II usually causes the blood pressure to increase, so when enalapril prevents it from being produced, the blood pressure will get lower.

How does Captopril Work?

Captopril is a type of drug called an ACE inhibitor, which works to lower the blood pressure by stopping a hormone called angiotensin II from being formed. This hormone usually increases the blood pressure, so when captopril prevents it from being produced, the blood pressure will get lower.
