The Most Successful Medications For High Blood Pressure

Renin Inhibitors

Renin inhibitors work by slowing down the production of renin, an enzyme produced by the kidneys that starts a chain reaction of chemicals within the body that increases blood pressure. Aliskiren is a commonly prescribed type of renin inhibitor that works by decreasing the body’s ability to produce renin that creates this chemical reaction. Due to a severe risk of complications, such as stroke, patients should not take aliskiren along with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers.
