Enalapril Maleate Tablets 5mg

Enalapril Maleate Tablets 5mg are used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. This medication belongs to a group of medicines known as ACE inhibitors, which work by widening your blood vessels, helping your blood pressure to fall and making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.

The medicine typically starts to work within an hour, and its effects can last for at least 24 hours. Some people may need several weeks of treatment to see the best effect on their blood pressure. It’s essential to take Enalapril exactly as your doctor has instructed, as the dose can vary depending on the condition being treated and any other medications you are taking.

The first dose may cause your blood pressure to drop more significantly than subsequent doses, which can sometimes lead to dizziness or light-headedness. If you experience these symptoms, it’s recommended to lie down until you feel better. This effect is less likely with future doses.

Your doctor will monitor your response to Enalapril by checking your blood pressure and performing some blood tests. If you have any concerns, it’s best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Enalapril contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, making it essentially sodium-free. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for taking this medication, and consult with them if you are unsure about any aspect of your treatment.
