About Enaril
What is Enaril?
Enaril is an oral antihypertensive medication containing Enalapril 5/10/20 mg. It belongs to the ACE Inhibitor (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor) drug class. It is a Thai brand with the same active ingredient as Enalapril.
Enaril works by inhibiting ACE, the enzyme that converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II. This reduces levels of Angiotensin II — a substance that causes blood vessel constriction — resulting in blood vessel dilation and lower blood pressure.
Beyond lowering blood pressure, Enaril has beneficial effects on the heart and kidneys by reducing cardiac workload and slowing kidney deterioration in diabetic patients.
What is Enaril used for?
Hypertension: The primary indication for Enaril. Used to treat high blood pressure either alone or in combination with other antihypertensives.
Diabetic Nephropathy Prevention: ACE Inhibitors protect the kidneys in diabetic patients with proteinuria (protein in urine).
Important: Must be taken consistently every day even if blood pressure feels normal. Never stop the medication on your own.
How to Take Enaril / Dosage
Dosage: Start with Enalapril 5 mg once daily. Your doctor may gradually increase to 20–40 mg/day depending on response.
How to take: Swallow whole with water. Take at the same time each day, with or without food.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember. If it's close to the next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take a double dose.
Important:
Do not stop on your own, even if blood pressure feels normal
Monitor blood pressure regularly
Check kidney function and potassium levels as directed by your doctor
Avoid excessively high-potassium foods
Side Effects of Enaril
Common side effects:
Dry cough — occurs in 10–15%, the most common ACE Inhibitor side effect
Dizziness, especially when changing positions (orthostatic hypotension)
Headache, fatigue
Less common side effects:
High potassium (hyperkalemia)
Skin rash
Altered taste
Serious side effects (very rare):
Angioedema — swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop immediately and seek emergency care
Acute kidney failure — especially in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis
Important: If dry cough is bothersome, your doctor may switch to an ARB such as Loranta (Losartan), which does not cause cough.
Contraindications & Precautions
Do not use:
Pregnancy (Category D) — may cause foetal harm or death
Allergy to ACE Inhibitors
History of angioedema from ACE Inhibitor use
Bilateral renal artery stenosis
Use with caution:
Kidney disease — may require dose adjustment and more frequent renal monitoring
Diuretic use — may cause excessive blood pressure drop; start with a lower dose
Diabetic patients on blood sugar-lowering medication — may increase hypoglycaemia risk
Avoid concurrent use with potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics
How Does Enaril Compare to Other Blood Pressure Medications?
Enaril vs. Enalapril: Same active ingredient — Enalapril. Different brand name and manufacturer. Equivalent efficacy — choose based on price and availability.
Enaril vs. Loranta (Losartan): Loranta is an ARB with a similar mechanism but does not cause dry cough. If Enaril causes bothersome cough, doctors often switch to Loranta. Comparable blood pressure-lowering efficacy.
Enaril vs. Amlodipine: Amlodipine is a Calcium Channel Blocker with a different mechanism. No dry cough, but may cause leg swelling. Often combined with Enaril for enhanced blood pressure control.
How Long Does Enaril Take to Work?
Enaril (Enalapril) begins working within 1 hour of taking it. Peak effect occurs at approximately 4–6 hours, and the effect lasts 24 hours.
4–6 weeks: Full drug effect — blood pressure should show clear improvement
Long-term: Must continue taking to maintain blood pressure levels
If blood pressure does not improve after 4–6 weeks, your doctor may adjust the dose or add a second medication.

Both contain the same active ingredient — Enalapril. They differ only in brand name and manufacturer. Equivalent efficacy — choose based on price and availability.
Dry cough is the most common side effect of ACE Inhibitors, affecting about 10–15% of users. It's caused by the accumulation of Bradykinin in the lungs — a normal mechanism of this drug class. If the cough is bothersome, your doctor may switch to an ARB like Losartan, which does not cause cough.
No. Never stop on your own, even if blood pressure feels normal. Abrupt discontinuation can cause a rapid blood pressure spike (rebound hypertension), which can be life-threatening. If you wish to stop, consult your doctor to gradually taper the dose.
Enaril (Enalapril) interacts with many drugs. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist, especially about potassium supplements, potassium-sparing diuretics, NSAIDs (e.g., Ibuprofen), Lithium, and diabetes medications. Do not use with Aliskiren in diabetic patients.
Absolutely not. Enaril (Enalapril) is Pregnancy Category D — clear evidence of foetal harm including kidney failure and foetal death. Women planning pregnancy must switch to a safe alternative before conceiving.
Doctors typically recommend switching to an ARB such as Loranta (Losartan), which has a similar mechanism but does not cause dry cough. Comparable blood pressure-lowering efficacy — the primary alternative for those who cannot tolerate ACE Inhibitor cough.
