WHAT RASILEZ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
This medicine contains an active substance called aliskiren. Aliskiren
belongs to a class of medicines
called renin inhibitors. Renin inhibitors reduce the amount of
angiotensin II the body can produce.
Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to tighten, which increases the
blood pressure. Reducing the
amount of angiotensin II allows the blood vessels to relax, which
lowers blood pressure.
This helps to lower high blood pressure in adult patients. High blood
pressure increases the workload
of the heart and arteries. If this continues for a long time, it can
damage the blood vessels of the brain,
heart and kidneys, and may result in a stroke, heart failure, heart
attack or kidney failure. Lowering the
blood pressure to a normal level reduces the risk of developing these
disorders.

antihypertensive agents with the exception of
use in combination with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors
