Aceon and its Uses
Generic Aceon belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors, which block the action of a chemical in the body called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).

Generic Aceon is used to lower high blood pressure.

Generic Aceon may be used alone or given with other classes of antihypertensives, especially thiazide diuretics.

Working Mechanism of Aceon
Normally ACE produces another chemical, angiotensin. Thus Generic Aceon reduces the amount of angiotensin in the blood.

Angiotensin has two actions. Firstly it acts on blood vessels to make them narrow and secondly it acts on the kidney to produce less urine.

As Generic Aceon stops the production of angiotensin, these actions are reversed. Therefore the kidneys produce more urine, which results in less fluid in the blood vessels. The blood vessels also widen.

The overall effect of this is a drop in blood pressure and a decrease in the workload of the heart.
