  2. Perindopril - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perindopril

    Perindopril is taken in the form of perindopril arginine (with arginine, brand names include Coversyl, Coversum) or perindopril erbumine (with erbumine (tert-Butylamine), brand name Aceon). Both forms are therapeutically equivalent and interchangeable, [4] but the dose prescribed to achieve the same effect differs between the two forms.

  3. Discovery and development of ACE inhibitors - Wikipedia

    Another difference between the older ACE inhibitors and RXP 407 is the molecular size of the compound. The older ACE inhibitors had mostly been interacting with S 1 ’, S 2 ’ and S 1 subsites but RXP 407 interacts in addition with the S 2 subsite.

  4. Ramipril - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramipril

    Ramipril is a pro-drug.The molecule must be hydrolyzed by an esterase at the OCH 2 CH 3 and form a carboxylate.This carboxylate then interacts with the positive Zn 2+ ion which is located at the active site of the ACE enzyme. [10]

    Multivitamins nutrition facts label showing that the international unit of, for example, vitamins D and E correspond to different gram values. In pharmacology, the international unit (IU) is a unit of measurement for the effect or biological activity of a substance, for the purpose of easier comparison across similar forms of substances.

  6. ACE inhibitor and thiazide combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACE_inhibitor_and_thiazide...

    An ACE inhibitor and thiazide combination is a drug combination used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). They are given by mouth.ACE inhibitors reduce the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) which produces angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels.

  7. Perindopril/indapamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perindopril/indapamide

    Using a fixed combination of an ACE inhibitor and a chlorosulfamoyl diuretic leads to additive synergy of the antihypertensive effects of the two constituents. Its pharmacological properties are derived from those of each of the components taken separately, in addition to those due to the additive synergistic action of the two constituents, when combined, on vascular endothelium ...

  8. Indapamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indapamide

    [7] [12] [13] HYVET study showed that indapamide (sustained release), with or without perindopril as antihypertensive treatment in persons 80 years of age or older with sustained systolic blood pressure of 160 mmHg or higher, demonstrated significant reduction in all-cause mortality when treated to a target of 150/80 mmHg, but there was found ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packed_red_blood_cells

    A red blood cell concentrate typically has a haematocrit of 0.50 – 0.70 L/L and a volume between 250 and 320 mL. Transfusion of red blood cell concentrates is indicated to compensate for a deficit caused by critical bleeding or to correct anaemic conditions, in order to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity and avoid detrimental effects ...
