Enalapril - Overview

Enalapril maleate is a medication sometimes prescribed to patients with high blood pressure as well as symptomatic congestive heart failure.

What Is Enalapril Used For?

Enalapril prescription medication, marketed under the name Vasotec, is a medication that, like benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), quinapril (Accupril) and ramipril (Altace), belongs to a class of medications known as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors). Enalapril is a type of medication used in treating elevated blood pressure in some people. Enalapril works by blocking the production of angiotensin II from angiotensin I, leading to a reduction in blood pressure from lower blood volumes and more relaxed blood vessels. Enalapril may also impact blood pressure by increasing the amount of a vasodilator known as bradykinin in the body. Enalapril is thought to be activated in the liver.

Enalapril - Dosage and Cost

When enalapril is utilized, the starting dosage often prescribed is enalapril 2.5 mg or enalapril 5 mg daily although the final dose prescribed depends on the judgement of the medical provider and the health needs of the patient. Enalapril maleate itself is found as a crystalline powder that is white to off-white in color. Following oral administration of enalapril, peak concentrations are typically achieved within one hour. Enalapril maleate demonstrates a half life of approximately 11 hours when administered to healthy people. Enalapril is largely excreted in the urine. Enalapril is considered affordable, costing under 30 cents per enalapril 10 mg tablet at many pharmacies in the United States. Enalapril may also be covered under some insurance plans, depending on the insurance and the reason it was prescribed, and enalapril coupons can also be found online at times.

Can I Buy Enalapril Online?

Enalapril is a prescription medication meaning that one needs to consult a medical provider and get a prescription before being able to get enalapril at a pharmacy. As a result, enalapril OTC is not available in the United States and one cannot just buy enalapril online. People who need an enalapril medication prescription, however, can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe enalapril medication, including enalapril 2.5 mg, enalapril 5 mg, enalapril 10 mg and enalapril 20 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

Enalapril - Side Effects

Enalapril prescription tablets can cause side effects when used. Side effects that may result from enalapril use include nausea, vomiting, headache, lightheadedness, dizziness, fatigue and rash. Enalapril medication can rarely cause angioedema. Enalapril can raise potassium levels and impact renal health which is why people who might be sensitive to those effects should generally not use enalapril. Enalapril and alcohol should not be used together. People with a known hypersensitivity to enalapril tablets or similar medications should not use enalapril prescription medication.
