What is another word for captopril?
Pronunciation: [kˈaptɒpɹə͡l] (IPA) 
Captopril is an ACE inhibitor medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Some synonyms for captopril include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril, benazepril, quinapril, perindopril, trandolapril, and fosinopril. ACE inhibitors work by blocking the production of a hormone called angiotensin II, which causes the blood vessels to constrict and raises blood pressure. This allows blood vessels to dilate, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart. Captopril is often used in combination with other medications to achieve optimal blood pressure control and prevent complications associated with hypertension.
