MEDICATION
⁃ Frequently prescribed ACE inhibitors include enalapril (vasotic), lisinopril (Prinivil, and ramipril (Altace). Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBS).
⁃ These help relax blood vessels by blocking the action, not the formation, of angiotensin, a chemical in your body that narrows blood vessels.
