speak

Enalapril is a medication that belongs to the class of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

It works by blocking the action of ACE, a protein that constricts blood vessels and elevates blood pressure. As a result, enalapril helps to relax blood vessels, which in turn reduces blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart.
