Enalapril: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Enalapril maleate is a prescription ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and certain diabetic kidney problems. It relaxes blood vessels to improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and reduce strain on the heart. By controlling hypertension, Vasotec helps prevent complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage, and may also improve survival after a heart attack.
