An angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) inhibitor that blocks the conversion of angiotensin i to angiotensin ii, a powerful vasoconstrictor. this results in vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.
An angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb) that prevents angiotensin ii from binding to its receptors in the body, thereby blocking its vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-releasing effects. this also leads to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.
High blood pressure (hypertension), both alone and in combination with other antihypertensive medications.
Heart failure, to improve symptoms and survival in patients with mild to severe heart failure.
Diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease related to diabetes), to slow the progression of kidney damage.
After a heart attack (myocardial infarction), to reduce the risk of death and cardiovascular events.
Arbitace 25mg Tab (Enalapril + Losartan) work synergistically to lower blood pressure by reducing the constriction of blood vessels. Enalapril inhibits the production of angiotensin II, while losartan blocks its action. This combined effect leads to vasodilation, increased sodium excretion, and ultimately lower blood pressure.
