Treatment

Store angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors pills in a tightly closed container at room temperature. Room temperature is between 59ºF to 86ºF. Keep the container in a dry place.

Don’t forget! Always keep ACE inhibitors and all medicines out of reach of children.

High and dry! Away from the sun and you're done!
