How do Lisinopril tablets treat high blood pressure?
Lisinopril works by inhibiting the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) which is responsible for producing natural hormones that help to control blood pressure.
This hormone can also cause blood vessels to restrict and become more narrow, as a result, blood pressure is increased due to the added resistance that the heart faces when pumping blood around the body.
By inhibiting Angiotensin-Converting Enzymes, the hormone responsible for narrowing blood vessels is suppressed. This allows blood vessels to widen and blood to flow throughout the body more freely. The pressure on the heart is also reduced due to the increased blood flow.
