Medical Dictionary – The definition of ACE Inhibitor
ACE inhibitor is also known as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor which is a common medication used in treating hypertension and cardiac failure. The mechanism of ACE inhibitor may include disrupting the action of angiotensin converting enzyme which usually convert angiotensin I to the angiotensin II which is a potent artery constrictor. The absence of angiotensin II may lead to widening of the arteries which will drop the pressure. The common form of ACE inhibitor may include captopril and Ramipril. The common side effects of ACE inhibitor may include loss of appetite, skin rashes and weakness.
