ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITOR COVID -19 (CORONAVIRUS 2019 DISEASE)a current pandemic infection caused by   RNA virus  Its mainly transmitted by droplet generated when an infected person coughs,sneezes or inhales. Symptoms:fever ,dry cough,tiredness.  Less common symptoms :headache,sore throat,diarrhoea,loss of taste or smell. Even if you notice mild symptoms don't hesitate to ask your doctor.  Get vaccinated at your chance  Getting vaccinated is very important to save us as well as your close ones , to learn more about herd immunity and its importance do check it out through this link  HERD IMMUNITY ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITOR CAPTOPRIL: Dipeptide ace inhibitor Orally active Prototype drug Sulfhydryl containing dipeptide surrogate of proline  Abolish pressor action of angiotensin 1 without affecting angiotensin 2 Increase plasma kinin level : responsible for cough ,angioedema,hypotensive action.
