Lisinopril belongs to a class of blood pressure medications known as ACE inhibitors. ACE represents the angiotensin-converting enzyme. This medication is utilized for the treatment of hypertension, cardiovascular breakdown, and very commonly prescribed after heart attacks.

About Lisinopril
Lisinopril is different than other ace inhibitors because it is not a prodrug. It is the only water-soluble ace inhibitor which makes it extremely popular. This oral medication is excreted in the urine, unlike other ace inhibitors that are usually metabolized by the liver. This medication lowers blood pressure by inhibiting the actions of the angiotensin-converting enzyme. This causes the arterioles to relax and the release of the hormone aldosterone. As a result of all the aforementioned statements, the kidneys maintain more potassium in the blood and instead excrete excess sodium and water.
