Enalaprilat

Enalaprilat is a potent vasodilator and an ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor, used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and congestive heart failure. It works by inhibiting the ACE enzyme, which reduces the production of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow and the heart to pump less efficiently. By blocking this enzyme, enalaprilat helps to relax and widen blood vessels, leading to a decrease in blood pressure and an improvement in cardiac function. It is typically prescribed as a tablet or an injection and is often used in combination with other medications to achieve optimal results. As with any medication, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions carefully, and to consult with a healthcare professional before starting treatment.
