Mechanism of action
Tritace operates by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. By reducing angiotensin II levels, it relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure while reducing the workload on the heart.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Contraindicated during pregnancy as it may cause fetal harm. Breastfeeding: Not recommended.
