Product Overview
About ENALAPRIL
ENALAPRIL is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which work by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the amount of fluid in the body.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
- Management of heart failure to improve symptoms and slow disease progression.
- Reduction of proteinuria (excess protein in the urine) in patients with diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage caused by diabetes).
Active Ingredient & Action
ENALAPRIL MALEATE is the active ingredient in ENALAPRIL, which works by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. This leads to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), decreased peripheral resistance, and reduced blood pressure.
Important Notes
ENALAPRIL should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Common side effects include cough, dizziness, and headache. Patients with a history of angioedema, kidney disease, or liver disease should use ENALAPRIL with caution. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and monitor blood pressure regularly.
