ACE inhibitors
Brand | Generic | Action | Uses |
---|---|---|---|
Lotensin | benazepril | Selectively suppresses reninangiotensinaldosterone system; inhibits ACE, preventing conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II | HTN |
Monopril | fosinopril | system; inhibits ACE; prevents conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; results in dilatation of arterial, venous vessels | HTN |
Accupril | quinapril | Selectively suppresses reninangiotensin aldosterone system; inhibits ACE, prevents conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; results in dilatation of arterial, venous vessels. | HTN |
Altase | ramipiril | Selectively suppresses reninangiotensinaldosterone system; inhibits ACE; prevents conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; results in dilatation of arterial, venous vessels. | HTN, CHF (after MI) |
ACE Inhibitor | angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor | a protease inhibitor found in serum that promotes vasodilation by blocking the formation of angiotensin II and slowing the degradation of bradykinin & other kinins. It decreases Na retention, H2O retention, b/p, & heart size & increases cardiac output. | |
Vasotec | enalapril | Selectively suppresses reninangiotensin aldosterone system; inhibits ACE; prevents conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, resulting in dilatation of arterial and venous vessels | HTN, CHF, left ventricular dysrhythmias |
Zestril | lisinopril | Selectively suppresses reninangiotensinaldosterone system; inhibits ACE; prevents conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. | HTN |
