angiotensin II receptor antagonist

Pharmacology Any of a family of agents-eg losartan and valsartan, which block the binding of angiotensin II–A-II to its cognate cell membrane receptors–AT₁, AT₂, and others; 1^st generation ARAs included the sartan family of agents, which only block AT₁, interacting with the amino acids in the transmembrane domains, blocking the binding of A-II to AT₁; an alternative to ACEI therapy for Pts with CHF; unlike ACEIs, ARAs do not interfere with bradykinin and prostaglandin metabolism, interference which has been linked to some of the adverse effects of ACEI therapy, particularly to cough and angioedema.

Atacand Avapro candesartan candesartan cilexetil Cozaar detail Diovan ELITE eprosartan mesylate irbesartan losartan losartan potassium losartan-hydrochlorothiazide sartan family telmisartan Teveten valsartan Verdia			There are indeed two common types of blood pressure medicines which inhibit the renin-angiotensin system, ACE-inhibitors like Lisinopril, and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) like Diovan. A change in BP meds by Running & FitNews COOPERATE study The COOPERATE study reported that progression of chronic kidney disease was retarded to a greater extent with dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) compared with either an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) alone. Since the publication of the South African Hypertension Guidelines in ... by Rayner, Brian / CME: Your SA Journal of CPD The most common types of blood pressure medicines doctors prescribe are diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), beta blockers, and calcium channel blockers.
