An ace inhibitor that relaxes blood vessels.
An angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb) that also relaxes blood vessels.
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
Treatment of heart failure
Enalapril blocks the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels. Losartan blocks the action of angiotensin II by preventing it from binding to its receptors. This combined action leads to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), reducing blood pressure and improving heart function.
