ANTI-HYPERTENSIVE DRUGS
Renin inhibitors
Renin inhibitors are pharmaceutical drugs inhibiting the
activity of renin that is responsible for hydrolyzing
angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, which in turn reducing the
formation of angiotensin II that facilitates blood pressure. ALISKIREN
VASODILATORS
Vasodilators. As the name implies, vasodilator drugs relax
the smooth muscle in blood vessels, which causes the
vessels to dilate. Dilation of arterial (resistance) vessels
leads to a reduction in systemic vascular resistance, which
leads to a fall in arterial blood pressure.
