ENCARDIL 5MG TABLET is prescribed alone or in combination with other drugs. ENCARDIL 5MG TABLET belongs to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, primarily used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. ENCARDIL 5MG TABLET is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor which lower increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels).

However, ENCARDIL 5MG TABLET does not cure high blood pressure (hypertension) but does help control it. In addition to this, ENCARDIL 5MG TABLET also reduces the physical effects of anxiety.

Blood pressure: Blood pressure is the measurement of the force that our heart uses to pump blood to all parts of the body. Hypertension is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. High blood pressure (hypertension) can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked), brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.
