Product Details

Zepres Tablets 5 mg are designed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) effectively. This medication contains Enalapril maleate, an ACE inhibitor that works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which in turn lowers blood pressure. The effects of Zepres Tablets are typically noticeable within an hour and can last up to 24 hours. For some patients, it may take several weeks to achieve the optimal blood pressure control.

Purposes

Zepres Tablets 5mg are primarily used to treat hypertension and heart failure. By inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), Enalapril helps reduce blood pressure and improve heart function. This not only lowers the risk of hospitalization but may also contribute to a longer, healthier life for individuals with chronic heart conditions.

Warnings

Zepres 5mg should be used with caution if you have kidney issues or are undergoing kidney transplantation, as it can increase potassium levels in the blood. Monitoring by your doctor may be necessary. Additionally, if you experience low blood pressure symptoms such as dizziness or faintness, especially upon standing, you should consult your healthcare provider. Patients with diabetes who are on antidiabetic agents should also monitor their blood glucose levels closely during the initial treatment phase.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Zepres Tabs 5mg include headaches, dizziness, changes in taste, shortness of breath, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. Rare but serious effects may involve severe allergic reactions, including swelling of the face or throat, and high potassium levels in the blood. If you experience jaundice or any severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Before starting Zepres Tab 5mg, inform your doctor of any allergies, particularly to ACE inhibitors. The medication should not be used if you have a history of angioedema or if you are taking aliskiren for diabetes or kidney issues. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is advised to ensure safe and effective use of this drug. Avoid self-medication and follow your doctor’s guidelines for dosage and administration.
