Active ingredients

The drug ZESTRIL contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Lisinopril dihydrate UNII 7Q3P4BS2FD - LISINOPRIL ANHYDROUS

Lisinopril is a peptidyl dipeptidase inhibitor. It inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) that catalyses the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor peptide, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II also stimulates aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex. Inhibition of ACE results in decreased concentrations of angiotensin II which results in decreased vasopressor activity and reduced aldosterone secretion. Read about Lisinopril
