Lotensin and Its Uses

|| Top ||

Working Mechanism of Lotensin

ACE inhibitors such as Generic Lotensin lower blood pressure by inhibiting the formation of angiotensin II, thus relaxing the arteries. Relaxing the arteries not only lowers blood pressure, but also improves the pumping efficiency of a failing heart and improves cardiac output in patients with heart failure.

Precautions with Lotensin

• Dosage reduction of Generic Lotensin and/or discontinuation of the diuretic may be required in case of impaired renal function.
• Presumably due to the inhibition of the degradation of endogenous bradykinin, persistent nonproductive cough has been observed with all ACE inhibitors, always resolving after discontinuation of therapy. ACE inhibitor-induced cough should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cough.
• In patients undergoing surgery or during anesthesia with agents that produce hypotension, Generic Lotensin will block the angiotensin II formation that could otherwise occur secondary to compensatory renin release. Hypotension that occurs as a result of this mechanism can be corrected by volume expansion.
