Enalapril

You should take Enalapril exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The typical starting dose is 5mg once a day, which may be adjusted based on your individual response. You can take Enalapril with or without food. It's essential to follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Remember not to exceed the recommended dosage, and if you have any concerns or experience side effects, contact your healthcare provider.

Each Enalapril tablet contains 5mg or 10mg of enalapril maleate as the active ingredient. In addition to the active ingredient, the tablets may contain excipients like lactose, corn starch, and magnesium stearate. These components help to form the tablet and ensure proper absorption of the medication.

Common side effects of Enalapril may include dizziness, fatigue, cough, or changes in taste. However, some serious side effects may occur such as severe dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or swelling of the face/tongue/throat. If you experience any of these severe side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Do not take Enalapril if you are pregnant, have a history of angioedema, or are allergic to enalapril. It's important to inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions, especially if you have kidney disease, liver disease, or diabetes. Additionally, let your doctor know about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Enalapril may not be suitable for everyone, so always consult your doctor before starting this medication.
