Enalapril Maleate 10 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg

ACE Inhibitor + Thiazide Diuretic Antihypertensive Medication Cardiovascular Drug

Enalapril Maleate 10 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg tablets are a combination antihypertensive medication used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). Enalapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow, while hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps remove excess salt and water from the body through urine. This combination helps effectively control blood pressure, reduce strain on the heart, and lower the risk of complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
