What is Ethics Enalapril?
Ethics Enalapril containing the active ingredient enalapril maleate is considered an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor type of medication. It works by decreasing certain chemicals to relax and widen the blood vessels to allow blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump blood more efficiently. It can be used to treat congestive heart failure and hypertension (high blood pressure). Lowering high blood pressure can help prevent strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems.
How is Ethics Enalapril used?
Ethics Enalapril is usually taken orally 1 to 2 times per day or as directed by a doctor. The tablets can be taken with or without food but should be taken with a full glass of water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. Do not discontinue the treatment without consulting a doctor, even if the patient is feeling better, as high blood pressure generally has no visible symptoms.
