Background
A description of the experience
Enalapril (marketed as Vasotec, in the US, Enaladex and Renitec in some other countries, and Enacard for veterinary use:142-143) is an angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used in the treatment of hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, and some types of chronic heart failure.
ACE converts the peptide hormone angiotensin I to angiotensin II. One of the actions of angiotensin II is the vasoconstriction of blood vessels, resulting in an increase in blood pressure. ACE inhibitors such as enalapril prevent this effect.
Vaseretic is hydrochlorothiazide and enalapril. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide and enalapril is a combination medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
Side effects
The most common side effects of enalapril include increased serum creatinine (20%), dizziness (2–8%), low blood pressure (1–7%), syncope (2%), and dry cough (1–2%). The most serious common adverse event is angioedema (swelling) (0.68%) which often affects the face and lips, endangering the patient’s airway. Angioedema can occur at any point during treatment with enalapril but is most common after the first few doses. Angioedema and fatality therefrom is reportedly higher among black people.
