By reducing vascular resistance, Lotensin may be useful in the treatment of congestive heart failure. Lotensin can only be used to treat high blood pressure. Lotensin HCT is an example of the effect of combined treatment of thiazide diuretics Benazepril type (water pills) in the treatment of hypertension. Her blood pressure lowering effect can improve the increase of diuretic drugs.

Angiotensin Ⅱ cause arterial vasoconstriction in vivo, thereby enhancing blood pressure. Lotensin is an ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors. ACE inhibitors such as lotensin blood pressure, prevent the formation of angiotensin II, thereby relaxing the arteries. Relaxation not only reduces blood pressure, and increase pump efficiency, improve cardiac output in patients with heart failure and heart failure. ACE is an enzyme necessary for the formation of the human angiotensin II.

Low levels of white blood cells of patients will increase the risk of infection. Swelling of the fabric, and even the upper respiratory tract, reporting and ACE inhibitors in very rare cases, can lead to serious breathing difficulties.
