Main Content: ACE Inhibitors - blood pressure medication. 1  ACE inhibitors are medicines that are used to treat high blood pressure. 2  ACE inhibitors block your body from producing a chemical called angiotensin II. 3  Angiotensin II also triggers a hormone that makes your body retain water. Having more fluid in your body, in a restricted space, will cause your blood pressure to rise. ACE inhibitors lower your blood pressure by reducing angiotensin II in your body. This allows your blood vessels to relax and widen, making it easier for blood to flow through.
