Zestril (lisinopril) — the administratively purest ACE inhibitor: no hepatic activation, no protein binding, unmetabolized renal excretion, one daily dose food-free — hence America’s decades-long favorite. Full family virtues (BP, HF, post-MI GISSI-3, diabetic nephropathy) and full family laws: absolute pregnancy ban, potassium/creatinine checks, swap for an ARB when the dry cough bites, facial swelling is an emergency.
