How Does Prinivil Work In The Body?
Prinivil (lisinopril) belongs to a class of drugs known as Angiotensin Converting Enzymes (ACE) inhibitors. These medications block the chemical called Angiotensin II which is responsible for the increase in blood pressure. ACE inhibitors such as Prinivil reduce the amount of Angiotensin II in the body that helps the blood vessels to relax and become wider. This makes it easier for the blood to flow through your blood vessels, thus decreasing the blood pressure. Lowering of blood pressure also makes it easier for your heart to pump blood. Prinivil does not help cure high blood pressure or congestive heart failure but can control these conditions.
