What Is Enalapril 5mg?
Enalapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor sold under the brand name Vasotec. It blocks an enzyme that narrows blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart. Doctors prescribe enalapril for high blood pressure, symptomatic heart failure, and asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction. It is taken by mouth as a tablet, typically once or twice daily as directed by your provider.
