Enzide 10 mg/25 mg Tablet

Enzide 10 mg/25 mg Tablet belongs to a class of medication called 'anti-hypertensive' primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.

Enzide 10 mg/25 mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Enalapril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic). Enalapril belongs to the class angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors that work by blocking an angiotensin-converting enzyme which decreases the production of angiotensin II in the body that causes constriction and narrowing of blood vessels leading to high blood pressure. Thereby, it widens and relaxes blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to diuretics (water tablets) that work by increasing the removal of excess water and certain salts such as sodium and potassium from the blood. This removal of water from blood reduces the fluid volume circulating through blood vessels. Thus, together they lower high blood pressure.
