Tekturna, also known by its generic name aliskiren, works by inhibiting renin, an enzyme involved in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) that regulates blood pressure. By blocking renin, Tekturna decreases the formation of angiotensin I and subsequently angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. This mechanism helps manage hypertension by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow.
