What does it do?

Alasepril belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor class. It is used in medications with the purpose of dilating blood vessels to lower blood pressure. It is primarily utilized for controlling blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Alasepril works by blocking the production of angiotensin II, which constricts blood vessels, thereby widening blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. This reduces the workload on the heart and helps to regulate blood pressure.
