Frequently asked questions about Enamate Products

Frequently asked questions about Enalapril

Q. What is Enamate 5mg Tablet? What is it used for?
Enamate 5mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to pass through the vessels. As a result of this, the heart does not have to work more to push the blood. Since the workload on the heart is reduced, it helps to lower the blood pressure and thus reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is also used for the treatment and prevention of congestive heart failure.
Q. Does Enamate 5mg Tablet cause excessive urination? Can it cause kidney damage?
No, Enamate 5mg Tablet does not cause excessive urination (loss of water through urine). The use of Enamate 5mg Tablet may not affect normally functioning kidneys. However, damage to the kidneys may occur when Enamate 5mg Tablet is given with a diuretic (water pill, a medicine that increases the urine output). In such a case, either the diuretic should be discontinued or its dose should be reduced. If you have severe heart failure or your kidneys are already affected then there is a risk of kidney failure. However, timely and appropriate treatment can reverse the damage caused to kidneys.
Q. Can use of Enamate 5mg Tablet affect my liver?
In rare cases, Enamate 5mg Tablet may cause yellowing of skin and eyes, loss of appetite and an increase in liver enzymes. It can also cause considerable damage to the liver and even death. Therefore, if you experience any such symptoms, call your doctor immediately.
Q. Is it safe to use Enamate 5mg Tablet along with hydrochlorthiazide?
You have to be careful when taking Enamate 5mg Tablet with hydrochlorothiazide, as it can further decrease your blood pressure.

While some may experience unexplained shortness of breath, excessive drowsiness or fatigue, persistent nausea, confusion, pain or pressure in your chest and seizures (fits). These symptoms usually occur if there is substantial water or salt loss prior to starting Enamate 5mg Tablet. Therefore, if you face any such issues contact your doctor who will either advise you to discontinue hydrochlorothiazide or give a lower dose. The doctor may also advise you Enamate 5mg Tablet in very low doses when used in combination with hydrochlorothiazide.
Q. I am taking ibuprofen for arthritis, is it safe to take Enamate 5mg Tablet along with it?

Q. Can I take Enamate 5mg Tablet before surgery?
