Uses
CARDACE 5mg Tablets are used to treat hypertension, helping to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. They are also prescribed for patients with congestive heart failure to improve symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue, and to enhance overall heart function. In addition, enalapril is used to prevent the progression of left ventricular dysfunction following a heart attack. By inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, enalapril reduces vascular resistance, lowers blood pressure, and improves circulation, thereby protecting the heart and kidneys.

Dosage and Administration
The tablets should be taken orally, swallowed whole with water. Dosage depends on the patient’s condition and response to treatment, and must always be adjusted under medical supervision. CARDACE is usually taken once or twice daily, with or without food.

Special Populations and Precautions
CARDACE should be used cautiously in patients with kidney impairment, liver disease, diabetes, or those taking potassium supplements. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not use this medication, as ACE inhibitors can harm fetal development. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to enalapril or other ACE inhibitors. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes is recommended during therapy.
