Captopril older people

You will know people (probably older men) who are on fi-blockers . These are compounds designed to block the effects of adrenaline (epinephrine) on the heart and hence to prevent heart disease. One of the best is Zeneca s tenormin. Preventing high blood pressure also prevents heart disease and certain specific enzyme inhibitors (called ACE-inhibitors ) such as Squibb s captopril work in this way. These are drugs that imitate substances naturally present in the body. [Pg.11]
