Patient summary
Vasotec is enalapril in 2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg tablets for hypertension and heart failure, an ACE inhibitor that lowers angiotensin II.
Mechanism of action
An ACE inhibitor that lowers blood pressure by reducing levels of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow. This allows veins and arteries to relax and widen.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Do not use during pregnancy. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.

- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
- Inactive ingredients, tablet appearance and packaging can differ from the original brand; the active ingredient and dose are the same.
