This is an ACEI (aka ACE Inhibitor, aka angiotensin converting enzyme
inhibitor). It's works by affecting your BP at your kidneys. Most people
are posting about experiences they have had with beta-blockers (eg.
atenolol, metopolol) which can slow down your heart and cause other side
effects.
There's no logical reason an ACEI should affect your ability to fly.
As always talk to your primary MD for more info.
