Product Overview

About PMS-TRANDOLAPRIL

PMS-TRANDOLAPRIL is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Trandolapril, a prodrug of the ACE inhibitor Lisinopril. It is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and congestive heart failure.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to prevent cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
• Management of congestive heart failure to improve symptoms and reduce hospitalizations.
• Reduction of proteinuria (excess protein in the urine) in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

Active Ingredient & Action

Trandolapril works by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. This leads to vasodilation and a decrease in blood pressure. Additionally, Trandolapril has a protective effect on the kidneys by reducing proteinuria and slowing the progression of kidney disease.

Important Notes

PMS-TRANDOLAPRIL should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and cough. Patients with a history of angioedema or kidney disease should use this medication with caution. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and monitoring schedule to ensure optimal efficacy and safety.
