Lisinopril

An ACE inhibitor that lowers blood pressure by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

Lisinopril inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme, causing vasodilation and reduced aldosterone secretion. It is first-line for hypertension and is protective in diabetic nephropathy.
