Vasotec (active ingredient: enalapril) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Vasotec is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults and pediatric patients 1 month of age and older.
  2. Heart Failure: Vasotec is also indicated for the treatment of symptomatic heart failure, usually in combination with diuretics and digitalis, in adults.
  3. Asymptomatic Left Ventricular Dysfunction: Vasotec is used to reduce the risk of developing overt heart failure in asymptomatic patients with left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤ 35%).

Vasotec belongs to the drug class of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which work by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, thereby reducing blood pressure and improving cardiac function in heart failure.

To use Vasotec (Enalapril) tablet, take it orally once or twice daily as directed by your doctor. You can take it with or without food. Enalapril can be taken with or without food, but it is generally recommended to take it on an empty stomach to improve its absorption.

The doctor will determine the dosage based on your medical condition and response to treatment, and for children, based on weight. Make sure to take the medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Even if you feel well, continue taking Vasotec as prescribed by your doctor because most people with high blood pressure do not experience symptoms. If you have any questions or concerns, discuss them with your doctor.

The recommended dosage may vary based on individual needs and medical history, but typically ranges from 2.5 mg to 40 mg per day, taken in one or two doses.

  • For high blood pressure, the typical dosing for enalapril (Vasotec) starts with 5 mg once a day by mouth. The dosage may be increased by your doctor every few weeks if needed to further lower your blood pressure. The usual dosage range is between 10 mg to 40 mg orally per day.
  • For heart failure, the starting dose is typically 2.5 mg twice daily by mouth, with the usual dosing range between 10 mg to 20 mg orally two times a day. Your doctor will advise you on whether to take enalapril once or twice daily.
