manufacture an angiotensin receptor blocker under a variety of names, including,,, and. Doctors sometimes refer to the class of drugs as sartans. Because of the way they function, angiotensin receptor blockers are sometimes called angiotensin II receptor antagonists, or AT1-receptor antagonists for...

The neurohormonal hypothesis for the pathogenesis of heart failure found an early champion in the angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. More recently, the β-blockers and aldosterone receptor antagonists have provided significant support by demonstrating marked additive clinical benefit. Within this...

Another possibility is that the higher risk comes not from high blood pressure itself, but from certain drugs used to treat it --ACE inhibitorsand angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). This theory may come from research that suggests these types of medications weaken the body’s immune cells....
Angiotensin-2 receptor blockers (ARBs) – candesartan, irbesartan, losartan Calcium channel blockers – amlodipine, felodipine or diltiazem and verapamil Diuretics – indapamide and bendroflumethiazide Beta-blockers –atenolol and bisoprolol Alpha-blockers – doxazosin Other diuretics – amiloride, spiron...
Angiotensin receptor blockers prevent the actions of angiotensin II on the arteries. This means the arteries stay more open and blood pressure is lowered. ARBs can take a few weeks to work. Side effects can include dizziness, muscle cramps, insomnia, and elevated potassium levels. As with ACE...
