Aliskiren Related Compound
Aliskiren treats essential hypertension. While used to manage high blood pressure, alternative more researched drugs are usually advised due to concerns about increased adverse effects and less evidence of effectiveness.

FAQ’s
Aliskiren belongs to what drug class?
Aliskiren belongs to the group of drugs known as direct renin inhibitors.
Does aliskiren cause an increase in potassium?
Aliskiren may lead to hyperkalemia by increasing potassium levels. The danger rises when used with other potassium-raising drugs.
Is aliskiren a vasodilator?
The inhibitory impact of l-NMMA on acetylcholine was restored by aliskiren, which also raised the vasodilation to acetylcholine. After receiving aliskiren, ascorbic acid, which at baseline potentiated the response to acetylcholine, no longer enhanced endothelium-dependent relaxation.
