Used primarily in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), this compound helps lower blood pressure by inhibiting an enzyme involved in the production of a substance that narrows blood vessels. As a result, blood vessels relax and widen, improving blood flow. It is also used in managing heart failure and certain types of chronic kidney disease, especially in diabetic patients, as it helps reduce proteinuria and slows kidney damage. Often prescribed in combination with other antihypertensives, it contributes to reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems over time.
