Vasotec Information:

• What

What is Vasotec?

Vasotec is the drug enalapril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that is prescribed to treat hypertension. It is also prescribed with other medications to treat congestive heart failure. Vasotec may also be used to treat disorders of the ventricles that interfere with the heart’s ability to pump blood. It works by decreasing chemicals that cause blood vessels to tighten, enabling the heart to pump more effectively to improve blood flow.

• How

How do I take Vasotec?

Vasotec is administered as a pill that is taken orally with water and without regard to food. The strength and frequency of dosing will depend on the condition being treated and the medical profile of the patient. Follow the instructions that accompany the prescription. Vasotec treats hypertension and congestive heart failure but is not a cure; continue taking this medication even if you feel well.

Before taking Vasotec, tell your doctor if:

• You are allergic to enalapril, ACE inhibitors, or any of the ingredients in the Vasotec drug

• You have diabetes

What are the possible side effects of taking Vasotec?

Less severe side effects may include coughing, a mild rash, dizziness, or weakness. If any of these conditions persist or worsen, contact your doctor for assistance.

• Missed Dose

What if I forget to take a dose of Vasotec?

If you forget to take your scheduled dose of Vasotec, do so as soon as you remember and are able. However, if it is almost time for the next one, skip it and resume the regular schedule. Do not increase the dosage or change the regimen to make up for one that was missed.

Keep Vasotec pills tightly sealed in their original container, out of the reach of children and away from extremes of temperature and humidity. Dispose of any unused or expired doses according to the instructions of your pharmacist.

Warnings
