Inhibace Description

For those diagnosed with hypertension, your doctor may recommend a prescription to buy Inhibace, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that can help reduce your blood pressure and reduce your risk of a stroke, heart attack, or kidney disease. There are no signs or symptoms of high blood pressure that alert you to the fact that your arteries are narrowed or blocked with plaque and blood flow is being forced through your blood vessels causing your pressure to rise.

The strain on your heart to pump a good supply of oxygenated blood to your organs and other tissues can cause damage to this essential muscle and cause heart failure as your body’s needs cannot be met. See your doctor regularly, and ask about Inhibace if you are found to be hypertensive or are in congestive heart failure.

How Inhibace Inhibits the Enzyme Responsible for Hypertension

The angiotensin converting enzyme is responsible for making angiotensin II from the angiotensin I in your blood. As a potent chemical, angiotensin II causes the muscles that surround your blood vessels to contract which, in turn, narrows the blood vessels so blood flow is compromised and the pressure builds up. Inhibace or generic Cilazapril inhibits the activity of the angiotensin converting enzyme so there is less of the enzyme responsible for narrowing your blood vessels and a proper blood flow to and from your heart is restored. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Other Uses for Inhibace

Congestive heart failure is a condition caused by an insufficient blood supply flowing to and from your heart to feed the rest of your body. Your heart tries to cope with this deficit by either stretching its chambers to try and hold more blood before pumping it out through your body, or the chambers become thickened and somewhat stiff to try and keep blood flowing through.

With time, the walls of your heart muscles become weak and are not able to pump blood as well as it should. This can affect your kidneys, too, as they start to retain fluids causing your organs to become congested. You may be able to avoid or minimize any permanent damage to your heart muscle or blood vessels by being more active, exercising, and eating healthier.

Before Inhibace is Prescribed

Consult with your doctor about the possible risks if you take Inhibace while you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding. To determine if Inhibace is right for you, explain to your doctor about other medical conditions or allergies you have and list any current OTC or Rx meds you take or use, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements.

Inhibace Precautions

Until you know how Inhibace will affect your body, you should not drive or perform any tasks that can be unsafe if you become dizzy. Do not stop, start, or change the dosage of any of your medications, including Inhibace, without talking to your doctor first. Keep Inhibace and other medications out of the reach of children and pets.
