Vasotec contains the active ingredient Enalapril, an ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme)inhibitor. The medication is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children who are at least one month old. It is also used to treat congestive heart failure in adults.
Vasotec is also used to treat a disorder of the ventricles (the two large chambers toward the bottom of the heart that collect and expel blood received from an atrium towards the peripheral beds within the body and lungs). This disorder can decrease the heart's ability to pump blood to the body.
How should I take Vasotec?Take Vasotec exactly as recommended by your doctor. Your blood pressure will need to be checked often. Your kidney or liver function may also need to be tested.
Vasotec tablets can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. You should take Vasotec at the same time each day unless your doctor tells you otherwise. If you are taking your medicine twice daily (2 tablets a day), take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening, or as advised by your doctor.
Call your doctor if you have ongoing vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. You can easily become dehydrated while taking Vasotec. This can lead to very low blood pressure, electrolyte disorders, or kidney failure.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using Enalapril.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medicine even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medicine for the rest of your life.

What happens if I overdose?Seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider immediately. Do not exceed the doctor�s recommended dose.
