Enace, Enalapril

Enace is used in the treatment of high blood pressure, heart failure, heart attack and diabetic kidney disease.

Enace is known as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Enace prevents the body from creating a hormone known as angiotensin II. Enace does this by blocking or inhibiting a chemical called angiotensin-converting enzyme which then widens the blood vessels and helps to reduce the amount of water put back into the blood by your kidneys. These actions help to decrease blood pressure.

Patients who take Enace may suffer from such side effects;

Decreased blood pressure,
Cough,
Increased potassium level in blood,
Fatigue,
Weakness,
Dizziness,
Renal impairment
