Vaseretic
Vaseretic Overview

Vaseretic (generic: enalapril/hydrochlorothiazide) is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure. It is a single tablet containing 2 medications, enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide. Enalapril belongs to a group of medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by blocking the ACE enzyme, which helps blood vessels to relax and lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) belongs to a group of drugs called diuretics (water pills), which cause the kidneys to get rid of extra water and salt in the urine.

Vaseretic comes in tablet form. It is usually taken by mouth once or twice daily, with or without food.

Common side effects include headache, fatigue, cough, and dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.
