ACE INHIBITORS
RIL or PRIL
The ACE inhibitors block the action of the
angiotensin-converting enzyme in the lungs so
that angiotensin I is not converted into
angiotensin II. The production of this powerful
blood vessel constrictor is thereby prevented.
The blood vessels thus remain widened, which
results in lowering of the blood pressure.
