Hello. I'm 45 year old male and I would like to find some information about one medication I'm on for a last couple of days.
You see, about three weeks ago I have experienced one mild heart attack episode and I was very afraid for my life. I have never experienced anything similar and I would like to avoid it in future.
Never mind that- I was prescribed with some Lisinop drug and to be honest with you- since I started drinking it I'm feeling much more better. So, I'm interested to find out more about the drug’s exact mechanism of work. I have heard that it helps body to free it self from unneeded water. Is this true!?
Hello. I'm a medical student and I know some crucial facts about the medication you’ve mentioned.
You see, some of the medications for treating heart problems are made to free body from water and they are called “water pills”. But, this isn’t your case. Your medication belongs to the group called angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors.
I know that this doesn’t telling you anything but it generally means that it works by decreasing certain chemicals called vasoconstrictors that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly through widen up vessels.
I hope this was helpful. Good luck!
