Common use

Vaseretic is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines Enalapril, an ACE inhibitor, with Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, to relax blood vessels and reduce fluid retention, thereby lowering blood pressure effectively.

Dosage and administration

Take Vaseretic orally once daily, with or without food, exactly as directed by your physician. For best results, take the medication at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.

Precautions

Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver problems, diabetes, or a history of electrolyte imbalance. Avoid dehydration, as it may increase the risk of side effects such as low blood pressure or kidney issues.

Contraindications

Do not use Vaseretic if you are allergic to Enalapril, Hydrochlorothiazide, sulfa drugs, or any ACE inhibitors. It is also contraindicated during pregnancy and in patients with a history of angioedema.

Possible side effects

Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, dry cough, and increased urination. Serious but rare effects may involve electrolyte disturbances, severe hypotension, or kidney dysfunction.

Drug interactions

Vaseretic may interact with NSAIDs, lithium, potassium supplements, other diuretics, and additional blood pressure medications. Provide your healthcare provider with a complete list of all medications and supplements you are taking.

Missed dose

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose - do not double up.

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose may include extreme dizziness, fainting, or dehydration. Seek immediate medical attention if an overdose is suspected.

Storage

Store Vaseretic at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the tablets tightly sealed and out of reach of children.
