Enalapril

Enalapril is an ACE inhibitor used primarily to treat high blood pressure, helping to prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. The medication works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Enalapril is also beneficial in managing certain heart conditions and improving heart function. It is typically taken once or twice daily, with or without food. Consistent use of Enalapril can lead to improved cardiovascular health and reduced risk of complications associated with hypertension. Store Enalapril tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
