What is Ethics Lisinopril?
Ethics Lisinopril (Lisinopril) is indicated for hypertension, heart failure and diabetic nephropathy. It works by relaxing the blood vessels and preventing them from constricting. The mechanism of action is derived from its ability to inhibit the ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme), so as to prevent the tightening and narrowing of the blood vessels.
