How Does Altace Work?
Altace is part of a class of drugs called angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin-converting enzyme. Altace helps to block the angiotensin-converting enzyme, which is normally part of a reaction in the body that causes blood vessels to narrow (constrict). By blocking this enzyme, Altace causes blood vessels to relax, which can lower blood pressure.
