Drug Details
Aliskiren, also known by the brand name Tekturna, is a medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). By effectively lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney issues. Aliskiren works as a direct renin inhibitor, blocking the enzyme renin which plays a role in tightening blood vessels. By inhibiting renin, it helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow. This medication is usually taken as a tablet once daily. While generally well-tolerated, it may sometimes cause mild diarrhea or stomach upset. It is not suitable for children under 2 years of age due to potential side effects. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
