What are ACE Inhibitors and Potassium-Sparing Diuretics?
ACE inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics are classes of medications primarily used to manage cardiovascular conditions, especially hypertension and heart failure. ACE inhibitors, or Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitors, work by blocking an enzyme that constricts blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. Potassium-sparing diuretics help to eliminate excess sodium and water from the body while conserving potassium levels.
