It works by blocking the enzyme ACE which is responsible for converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a blood pressure regulating hormone. Trandolapril can be used to lower mild to moderate hypertension, improve survival after a heart attack, treat congestive heart failure, and slow the progression of kidney disease in people with diabetes.

Effectiveness

How Tarka Affects PatientsTrandolapril works by blocking the enzyme (ACE) that is part of the body's natural control system for blood pressure and fluid balance (RAAS). This enzyme normally helps to convert a hormone (angiotensin I) into another hormone (angiotensin II), which increases blood pressure. By blocking ACE, trandolapril stops the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, and this reduces blood pressure. It also prevents the breakdown of a molecule (bradykinin) that naturally causes blood vessels to widen, further reducing blood pressure. Trandolapril does not
How Tarka works in the bodyTrandolapril is used to lower blood pressure. It works by blocking the two parts of an enzyme, called ACE, that helps regulate blood pressure. The two parts, called N and C domains, work in different ways. The C domain helps regulate blood pressure, while the N domain helps with cell differentiation and growth. Trandolapril blocks both domains, but it has a stronger impact on the C domain. As a result, it reduces the amount of a hormone in the body called ATII, which can raise blood pressure. It also increases the amount of another hormone called renin, which helps lower blood pressure.

Tarka for High Blood Pressure
I've been taking this medication for almost two decades and it's only recently stopped being effective. I'll be going back to the original dosage despite the cost because it was the best option for me.

My blood pressure has lowered significantly since taking this medication, but I have also noticed that my hair has started thinning out. Has anyone else experienced this side effect?

Tarka for High Blood Pressure
Tarka helped me a lot over 20 years ago when my blood pressure was incredibly high. It reduced the chest pains and headaches I was experiencing, as well as lowering my blood pressure by about 15%. I still take it twice a day and it's been great!

Tarka for High Blood Pressure
I've been on Tarka for 10 years now and it's helped me a lot with my blood pressure. Every few years I need an increase in dose, but other than that it's been really effective. It is expensive, though, so it would be nice if it was cheaper.

Tarka for High Blood Pressure
This is the only medication that has been able to lower my blood pressure. I've tried several others in the past with no success.
