About this product

Overview

Zepres 5mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Enalapril Maleate. It belongs to the class of medications known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Enalapril Maleate is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure by relaxing blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving heart function.

Uses

  • Zepres 5mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).
  • It may also be prescribed for the management of heart failure, either alone or in combination with other medications.
  • Enalapril Maleate works by inhibiting the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. By blocking this enzyme, enalapril reduces the production of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, leading to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure.

How It Works

  • Enalapril Maleate inhibits the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. By blocking this enzyme, enalapril reduces the production of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, leading to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure.

Dosage

  • The dosage of Zepres 5mg Tablet should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual’s blood pressure response and medical history.
  • It is typically taken orally once or twice daily, with or without food.
  • Dosage adjustments may be necessary in patients with renal impairment or other medical conditions.

Precautions

  • Use Zepres 5mg Tablet with caution in patients with a history of angioedema or hypersensitivity reactions to ACE inhibitors.
  • Monitor blood pressure regularly and adjust the dosage of Zepres 5mg Tablet as needed to achieve optimal blood pressure control.
  • Inform your healthcare provider about any medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking, as they may interact with enalapril.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Zepres 5mg Tablet may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, hypotension (low blood pressure), dry cough (associated with ACE inhibitors), and electrolyte imbalances.

When Not to Use

  • Zepres 5mg Tablet is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to ACE inhibitors or those with a history of angioedema associated with previous ACE inhibitor therapy.
  • It should not be used during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters, due to the risk of fetal harm.
