ENvas Injection belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is widely used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure and may be prescribed after a heart attack. It also lowers the chances of having a heart attack or stroke.
ENvas Injection is given as an injection into a vein under the supervision of a doctor. This medicine should be taken at the same time each day to get the most benefit. It is important to continue taking it regularly even if you feel well or even if your blood pressure is controlled. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel ill, but if you stop taking this medicine, your condition could get worse. This is a widely used medicine and is considered safe for long-term use.
Making some changes in your lifestyle will also help lower your blood pressure. These may include regular exercise, losing weight, smoking cessation, reducing alcohol intake, and reducing the amount of salt in your diet as advised by your doctor. The most common side effects of this medicine include cough, fatigue, weakness, low blood pressure and increased potassium level.
Most of these are temporary and resolve with time. Talk to your doctor if any of the side effects bother you or do not go away.
Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should also consult their doctor before taking it. Your doctor may check your kidney function, blood pressure and potassium levels in your blood at regular intervals while you are taking this medicine.
Uses of ENvas Injection

Benefits of ENvas Injection
In Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Hypertension is a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls remains consistently high, which can damage the heart, brain, and kidneys over time. ENvas Injection helps lower blood pressure, reducing strain on the heart and protecting vital organs. This helps lower the risk of serious complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease.
In Heart Failure
Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to tiredness, breathlessness, and fluid buildup. ENvas Injection supports the heart by easing the workload and improving blood circulation, which helps relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
In Prevention of heart attack and stroke
High blood pressure and weak heart function increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. By controlling blood pressure and supporting heart health, ENvas Injection helps lower this risk, protecting long-term cardiovascular health.

FAQs
What is ENvas Injection used for?
ENvas Injection is given into a vein to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) when oral blood pressure medicines are not practical. This medicine is the active form of the oral medicine enalapril.
What is angioedema, and why is it a concern during ENvas Injection treatment?
There is a risk of angioedema during ENvas Injection treatment, which is a sudden swelling of the face, lips, tongue, throat, or extremities. In severe cases, it can block the airway and be fatal. Seek emergency care immediately if swelling or trouble breathing occurs, as this requires prompt treatment with airway support and supportive medicine.
Can ENvas Injection cause dangerously low blood pressure?
Yes, ENvas Injection can cause dangerously low blood pressure, especially in people who are volume-depleted, on high-dose diuretics, on dialysis, or have heart failure. Blood pressure should be monitored closely, and starting doses are lower in high-risk patients to prevent severe drops.
What kidney problems can happen with ENvas Injection?
ENvas Injection can worsen kidney function, especially in people with renal artery stenosis, existing kidney disease, or heart failure. Blood tests for kidney function (BUN, creatinine) should be checked before and during treatment, and doses adjusted if kidney function declines.
Can ENvas Injection raise potassium levels?
Yes, ENvas Injection can cause high blood potassium level (hyperkalemia), particularly in people with kidney impairment, diabetes, or those taking potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics. Potassium levels should be monitored regularly.
Can ENvas Injection affect blood counts or the liver?
Rare cases of low white blood cells (neutropenia, agranulocytosis) have been reported with ENvas Injection use, especially in people with kidney disease or autoimmune conditions. Also, liver injury, jaundice, and hepatic failure have occurred during ENvas Injection use. Stop the medicine and seek care for yellowing skin or eyes or severe fatigue.
