Used primarily in the treatment of hypertension, it acts as a vasodilator, helping to relax and widen blood vessels, which improves blood flow and reduces blood pressure. It is particularly effective in managing chronic high blood pressure and can be used in combination with other antihypertensive agents for better control. Its mechanism involves the inhibition of certain enzymes that contribute to vascular constriction, making it a valuable option for patients who do not respond adequately to first-line treatments. Additionally, it may be prescribed in cases where other medications cause undesirable side effects, offering an alternative therapeutic approach.
