fosinopril sodium - Heart Disease and other cardiovascular conditions on MedicineNet.com |
 | | Fosinopril is in a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors which inhibit ACE and block the formation of angiotensin II. |
 | | Fosinopril also is used in the treatment of congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart is not able to pump enough blood. |
 | | It is recommended that fosinopril not be taken at the same time as aluminum or magnesium-based antacids, such as Mylanta or Maalox, since these antacids decrease the amount of fosinopril that is absorbed from the intestine. |
