Enalapril is used for:
Treating high blood pressure, heart failure, and other heart problems. It may be used alone or with other medicines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Enalapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It works by helping to relax blood vessels. This helps to lower blood pressure.
Do NOT use Enalapril if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Enalapril or similar medicines (eg, captopril, lisinopril)
- you are pregnant
- you are taking dextran sulfate or a potassium-sparing diuretic (eg, amiloride)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
How to use Enalapril :
Use Enalapril as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take Enalapril by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.
- If you miss a dose of Enalapril , take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Enalapril .
