Enalapril-hydrochlorothiazide

Drug Details

Vaseretic is a prescription medication designed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. This combination drug includes two active components: enalapril maleate, an ACE inhibitor, and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic. Enalapril works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to circulate more freely, while hydrochlorothiazide helps remove excess salt and water from the body, increasing urine production initially and further aiding in blood vessel relaxation. By lowering blood pressure, Vaseretic helps reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney issues. It is typically taken as an oral tablet once daily. Some common side effects may include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting or changing any medication regimen.
