Zaniprill 10/10mg Tablet

Zaniprill 10/10mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Enalapril Maleate, which belongs to the class of medications known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is formulated as an oral tablet for the management of hypertension and heart failure.

Active Ingredient:

Enalapril Maleate: This medication works by inhibiting the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), thereby reducing the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By dilating blood vessels, Enalapril Maleate helps lower blood pressure and improve cardiac function.

Uses:

Zaniprill 10/10mg Tablet is indicated for:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as stroke and heart attack.
• Management of heart failure to improve symptoms, exercise tolerance, and overall quality of life.

Mechanism of Action:

Enalapril Maleate exerts its effects by inhibiting ACE, an enzyme responsible for converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II. By reducing angiotensin II levels, Enalapril Maleate leads to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and decreased secretion of aldosterone, resulting in lower blood pressure and improved cardiac function.

Administration:

Take Zaniprill 10/10mg Tablet orally, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. The dosage may vary depending on individual patient factors and the specific condition being treated.

Common side effects of Zaniprill 10/10mg Tablet may include:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

Precautions:

• Inform your healthcare provider about any history of kidney disease, liver disease, or electrolyte imbalances before starting Enalapril Maleate.
• Use caution when standing up from a sitting or lying position, as Enalapril Maleate may cause orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing).
• Monitor blood pressure regularly while taking Zaniprill, and report any significant changes to your doctor.
