What does lisinopril do?

Not Medical Advice: Lisinopril is a drug that treats high blood pressure and heart failure. It may also improve survival rates after a heart attack.

Lisinopril belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by decreasing the chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood can flow smoothly and the heart can pump blood more efficiently.

Researchers have discovered that seaweed can fight high blood pressure and help prevent cardiovascular disease because it also acts as an inhibitor.
