A member asked:
What sort of blood pressure problem requires the use of an ace inhibitor?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Any, if tolerated: Ace inhibitors are a cornerstone of almost any hypertensive patient, especially if a patient has diabetes or heart failure. Monitoring of kidney tests and potassium and watching for cough or rarely rashes or swelling of the lips and eyelids are adverse effects that need medical attention.
