Enalapril-HCTZ is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure. A combination of two separate medicines - enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide - helps relax blood vessels, improve blood flow to the heart, and increases the flow of urine from the body. Excess fluid, and salt in urine, can cause increased blood pressure. Water pills encourage the body to get rid of this extra salt and fluid by urinating more frequently.

High blood pressure is a common but serious condition that affects nearly half of all Americans, according to the CDC. If left untreated, high blood pressure can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of the body. This can lead to adverse events like heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and more.

While enalapril-HCTZ has been shown to effectively reduce blood pressure, it should be taken along with lifestyle changes to help reduce risk of hypertension (high blood pressure). Lifestyle changes that can help lower blood pressure and improve heart health include: Quit smoking Eating a healthy diet Regular physical activity Drinking alcohol in moderation

Enalapril-HCTZ is a combination of two medications - enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide.

Enalapril belongs to a class of medication known as ACE inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors), which are commonly used to treat hypertension. ACE inhibitors reduce the levels of a chemical in your body that can cause blood vessels to narrow and blood pressure to rise. By blocking the production of natural chemical, Enalapril can help relax and dilate blood vessels, improve blood and oxygen flow to the heart, and lower your blood pressure.

The other component of enalapril-HCTZ is hydrochlorothiazide. This medication is what’s known as a diuretic, or “water pill”. These medications are commonly used to treat edema or excess fluid retention in the body, by increasing the flow of urine from the body, which can contain blood-pressure raising sodium.

Working together, this combination drug both increases blood flow, and carries excess fluid from the body. This has been shown to effectively lower blood pressure and decrease risk of heart problems, especially when taken along with certain lifestyle changes (like a change in diet and regular exercise).
