Enalapril Maleate 5 Mg

Enalapril tablet 5mg is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure can reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Enalapril maleate is the maleate salt of enalapril, a derivative of two amino acids, L-alanine and L-proline . Enalapril maleate inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) after hydrolysis to enalaprilat. The primary mechanism through which enalapril lowers blood pressure is believed to be suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Inhibition of ACE blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II resulting in decreased vasopressor activity and decreased aldosterone secretion.
