Description

Zepres (10Mg) is an ACE inhibitor tablet containing Enalapril Maleate, manufactured by Asian Continental. It works by blocking a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten, helping relax the vessels, lower blood pressure, and improve blood and oxygen supply to the heart. Each pack contains 20 tablets, offering an effective treatment option for managing hypertension and related heart conditions.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains 10mg of Enalapril Maleate, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support tablet formulation and stability.

Dosage Form

Zepres is available as an oral tablet, taken by mouth with water, with or without food.

Uses

Zepres is used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat high blood pressure. It is also used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction, helping improve the heart’s pumping efficiency and reduce the risk of future cardiovascular complications.

How to Use

Take one to two tablets daily, with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet with water; do not chew it. Take it regularly at the same time each day to help maintain consistent blood pressure control. Do not stop taking Zepres without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better, as stopping suddenly may cause blood pressure to rise again.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include dizziness, unusual tiredness, blurred vision, sweating, or back pain. Less commonly, individuals may experience chest tightness, increased heartbeat, cough, diarrhea, or vomiting. Seek medical attention if symptoms are severe or persistent.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Zepres is not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, as it may cause serious harm to the developing baby; treatment should be discontinued as soon as pregnancy is detected. It is also not recommended during breastfeeding unless considered absolutely necessary by your doctor.

Storage Instructions

Store Zepres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children, and do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the packaging.
