About this product

Overview

Cortec 10mg Tablet contains the active ingredient enalapril maleate, which belongs to the class of medications known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is used primarily to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure.

Active Ingredient

  • Enalapril Maleate: Enalapril maleate works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme, which is responsible for converting angiotensin I into angiotensin II. By blocking this enzyme, enalapril reduces the production of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow. This action results in vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and helps lower blood pressure.

Uses

Cortec 10mg Tablet is prescribed for the following conditions:

  • Hypertension (high blood pressure): Enalapril maleate helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow.
  • Heart failure: It can also be used to manage heart failure by reducing the workload on the heart and improving its function.

Mechanism of Action

Enalapril maleate inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme, which prevents the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This results in vasodilation of blood vessels, reduced secretion of aldosterone, and decreased sodium and water retention, ultimately leading to lowered blood pressure.

Administration

Cortec 10mg Tablet is taken orally, usually once or twice daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. The dosage may vary depending on individual patient factors and response to treatment. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by the healthcare provider.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Cortec 10mg Tablet may include:

  • Dizziness
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Cough
  • Hypotension (low blood pressure)
  • Nausea
  • Rash

Precautions

Before using Cortec 10mg Tablet, patients should consider the following precautions:

  • Inform healthcare providers of any known allergies to enalapril maleate or other medications.
  • Use caution in patients with a history of angioedema or renal impairment.
  • Monitor blood pressure regularly during treatment.
  • Avoid abrupt discontinuation of enalapril therapy, as it may lead to rebound hypertension
