Fosinopril Sodium Tablets

Function and Efficacy

This product is hydrolyzed into fosinoprilat in the liver. Fosinoprilat is a competitive angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor that prevents angiotensin I from converting to angiotensin II, resulting in reduced vascular resistance, reduced aldosterone secretion, and increased plasma renin activity. Fosinoprilat also inhibits the degradation of bradykinin, which also reduces vascular resistance. This product dilates arteries and veins, reduces peripheral vascular resistance or afterload, reduces pulmonary capillary wedge pressure or preload, and also reduces vascular resistance, thereby improving cardiac output.

Ingredients

Fosinopril sodium.

Appearance

This product is white tablets.

Indication

Drug Interactions

1. When used with diuretics, the antihypertensive effect is increased, which may cause severe hypotension. Therefore, those who originally used diuretics should stop taking them or reduce the dosage. This product should be used at a small dose at the beginning and the dosage should be adjusted gradually. 2. When used with other vasodilators, it may cause hypotension. If you plan to use them together, you should start with a small dose. 3. When used with potassium-retaining diuretics such as spironolactone, triamterene, and amiloride, it may cause hyperkalemia. 4. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics (especially indomethacin) can inhibit renal prostaglandin synthesis and cause water and sodium retention. When used with this product, the antihypertensive effect of this product can be weakened. 5. When used with other antihypertensive drugs, the antihypertensive effect is enhanced. Among them, it has a greater additive effect with drugs that cause renin release or affect sympathetic activity, and a smaller additive effect with beta-receptor blockers.
