Losartan
Uses
Losartan is used in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, heart attack and diabetic kidney disease.
How it Works
Losartan is known as an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Losartan works by inhibiting ACE which means it blocks or inhibits a chemical called angiotensin-converting enzyme, which in turn blocks the production of angiotensin II which is the main reason of constricting of the blood vessels, which tends to raise blood pressure.
Common Side effects
Patients who take Losartan may suffer from such side effects;
Fatigue,
Orthostatic hypotension,
Renal impairment,
Vertigo,
Dizziness,
Increased potassium level in blood,
Weakness,
Anemia
Ramipril
Uses
Ramipril is used in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, heart attack and diabetic kidney disease.
How it Works
Ramipril is known as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.ACE inhibitors like ramipril works by preventing the body from creating a hormone known as angiotensin II. This is done by blocking or inhibiting a chemical called angiotensin-converting enzyme. This then widens the blood vessels and helps to reduce the amount of water put back into your blood by the kidneys.These actions by Ramipril helps to decrease blood pressure.
Common Side effects
Patients who take Ramipril may suffer from such side effects;
Decreased blood pressure,
Cough,
Increased potassium level in blood,
Fatigue,
Weakness,
Dizziness,
Renal impairment
Hydrochlorothiazide
Uses

How it Works
Hydrochlorothiazide contains a form of thiazide, which is a diuretic that prompts your body to produce and eliminate more urine, which helps lower blood pressure.Hydrochlorothiazide lowers the blood pressure and swelling by removing extra water and electrolytes from the body.
Common Side effects
Patients who take Hydrochlorothiazide may suffer from such side effects;
Headache,
Nausea,
Increased blood uric acid,
Decreased potassium level in blood,
Glucose intolerance,
Anemia,
Blood disorders,
Changes in blood sugar,
