what's the effect on using captopril vs. Indral on level of renin in the body?

[ArchivalUser]

captopril is an ace-I so it will prevent conversion of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2.. renin and ag 1 will increase

inderal is propanolol - its a non selective beta blocker ..since b1 is the one that has an effect on kidney by increasing renin release. The blocker will inhibit renin release...

yes ,thanks
only I can add this one :

indral can decrease BP only in high renin HTN and some normal renin HTN pts .not effective in low renin state.
