What Is Enalapril 20mg?

Enalapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor sold under the brand name Vasotec. It blocks the production of a hormone that narrows blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart. Doctors prescribe enalapril for hypertension, symptomatic heart failure, and asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction. The 20mg tablet is a common maintenance strength taken once or twice daily as directed by your provider.

Do I need a prescription for enalapril?

Yes, enalapril is a prescription-only medication in the United States. A licensed healthcare provider must review and approve your prescription before we can dispense it.

How does ordering and shipping work?
