Beside above, what medications interact with ACE inhibitors? Interactions involving specific ACE inhibitors include captopril-digoxin, resulting in decreased clearance of digoxin from plasma in patients with heart failure, and captopril-probenecid, causing a decrease in captopril clearance. Tissue kinins, such as bradykinin, are metabolised by ACE inhibitors.

What is the safest ACE inhibitor?

For all-cause mortality, ramipril was associated with the lowest mortality and lisinopril with the highest. For increasing ejection fraction and stroke volume, enalapril was the most effective and the placebo ranked the lowest in efficacy. For reducing SBP and DBP, trandolapril ranked first and lisinopril ranked last.
