Among others, heart disease is the number one death on the planet. There are several reasons for the occurrence of diseases, but mostly high blood pressure, or in another way, people with high weight suffer from hypertension. The main goal of treatment of people with arterial hypertension is to lower blood pressure to normal, thereby reducing the risk of death in all manifestations of heart failure.
Renitek - a medicine for lowering blood pressure
Pressure on the vessels arises because of their poor patency due to constriction. The drug renitek is a salt of maleic acid and enalapril, a derivative of L-alanine and L-proline, is an inhibitor, that is, a substance that inhibits ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme). Active ingredient of the preparation:
- has a vasodilating effect;
- reduces pressure;
- increases renal blood flow.
What are the indications for the use of Renitek?
In acute heart failure, the patient must be hospitalized, since there is a risk of death. The action of the Renitek drug is aimed at ensuring that the progression of heart failure passes as slowly as possible, thereby improving patient survival and reducing the need to often hospitalize the patient.
Assign Renitek in such cases:
- Renovascular hypertension;
- essential arterial hypertension (mild, moderate and severe forms);
- heart failure of all functional classes.
As a prophylactic for the development of coronary ischemia in patients with unstable operation of the left ventricle of the heart, a drug is prescribed in order to avoid the onset of myocardial infarction. Renitek also helps with unstable angina. The main substance of enapril reduces the loss of potassium in the body.
