How it works

Enaped 2.5mg tablet inhibits the Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which is involved in the conversion of angiotensin-I to angiotensin-II (a substance that tightens the blood vessels) by preventing the formation of angiotensin-II; it expands the blood vessels and helps to lower the blood pressure and risk of heart failure.
