Envas H Tablet (Enalapril 5mg / Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg)

About Envas-H Tablet 

Envas-H Tablet 10’s 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.

Envas-H Tablet 10’s 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.

Take Envas-H Tablet 10’s irrespective of food daily at the same time and swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dizziness, weakness, blurred vision, nausea, headache, orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when standing up from sitting or lying position), high cholesterol or uric acid levels, electrolyte imbalance, diarrhoea, chest pain, fast heartbeat, changes in taste or stomach pain. Most of these side effects of Envas-H Tablet 10’s do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Envas-H Tablet 10’s is not recommended for pregnant women, especially in second and third trimesters as it may cause serious harm to the baby. Therefore, pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised to consult a doctor before taking Envas-H Tablet 10’s. Avoid potassium supplements with Envas-H Tablet 10’s as it may lead to high potassium levels in the blood. If you have asthma, diabetes, low blood pressure, difficulty in urination, gout, blood disorders, systemic lupus erythematosus (an autoimmune disease), scleroderma (hardening and tightening of skin), cerebrovascular disease (a condition affecting blood flow to the brain), have a history of angioedema (swelling under the skin) or skin cancer, kidney, liver or heart problems inform your doctor before taking Envas-H Tablet 10’s.
