Why does the control group of antihypertensive experiment often use captopril?
The reason for this is the following:

1, captopril is a common angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), which is widely used in the treatment of hypertension. By inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme, the production of angiotensin ⅱ is prevented, thus lowering blood pressure.

2. Captopril can also effectively lower blood pressure, which is a good control drug to evaluate the efficacy of other antihypertensive drugs.

3. As a drug with a long history, captopril has been widely recognized for its efficacy and safety. Therefore, captopril as a control drug can increase the reliability of the experiment.
