What is Enalapril used for?

Enalapril is prescribed for high blood pressure and heart failure. Keeping pressure under control lowers the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage.

How Enalapril works

It relaxes and widens blood vessels, slows the heart, or helps the body pass extra salt and water, so the heart has less resistance to push against and pressure falls.

• Dizziness, especially when standing up quickly
• Tiredness or headache
• Swollen ankles or flushing
• Dry cough or a slow heartbeat, depending on the type

Seek urgent help for swelling of the face or throat, fainting, chest pain or very slow pulse.
