Safely Buy Inhibace ( Cilazapril ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Inhibace is a medication that belongs to the family of medications known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure.

The active substance in Inhibace is cilazapril. ACE inhibitors work by blocking the action of an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme, which helps relax and widen blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.

Inhibace may also be prescribed to ease the strain on the heart or for other uses as determined by a healthcare professional. Note that Inhibace does not cure high blood pressure but helps to manage it.

Use and Dosage

The usual recommended dose depends on the condition being treated as well as other medications you may be taking, and other medical conditions. Your doctor may gradually increase the dose based on how well the medication is working for you and whether you are experiencing side effects.

The usual dose range for the treatment of high blood pressure is 2.5 mg to 5 mg once daily, depending on kidney and liver function.

The usual dose range for congestive heart failure is 1 mg to 2.5 mg taken once daily, depending on kidney and liver function.
