The combination of Enalapril + hydrochlorothiazide is used for the treatment of essential hypertension in patients who do not respond adequately to monotherapy. It combines an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (enalapril) with a thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide) to lower blood pressure.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, and is effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications such as stroke or heart failure.

Side effects may include dizziness, dry cough, nausea, hypokalemia, or increased uric acid levels. It is important to monitor blood pressure and kidney function during treatment.

Consult your doctor to discuss the benefits and risks of treatment with this combination. Follow the prescribed dosage and adhere to all medical recommendations.
