What Enalapril Comp STADA is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada is used for treating high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;(&nbsp;essential hypertension&nbsp;).&nbsp;It contains a combination of two active substances,&nbsp;enalapril,&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>hydrochlorothiazide<\/strong>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Enalapril&nbsp;belongs to a group of medicines called&nbsp;ACE inhibitors&nbsp;(angiotensin converters).&nbsp;ACE inhibitors&nbsp;work by dilating the blood vessels and thus making it easier for the blood to flow through them.&nbsp;ACE inhibitors&nbsp;are used to treat high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;(&nbsp;hypertension&nbsp;).<\/li><li>Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;belongs to a group of medicines called&nbsp;diuretics&nbsp;(&nbsp;diuretics&nbsp;).&nbsp;Diuretics&nbsp;cause the kidneys to produce more urine.&nbsp;They are used to treat high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;(&nbsp;hypertension&nbsp;).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada is used in patients whose&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;has not been adequately controlled on&nbsp;enalapril&nbsp;or&nbsp;hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;alone.&nbsp;Therefore, one should try using drugs with only one of the active substances first.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enalapril&nbsp;and&nbsp;hydrochlorothiazide contained&nbsp;in&nbsp;Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.&nbsp;Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

occur)<\/li><li>if you have a disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (an immune disease; it may worsen)<\/li><li>if you have had skin cancer or if you get an unforeseen skin change during treatment.&nbsp;Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, especially long-term use with high&nbsp;doses, may increase the risk of certain types of skin and lip cancer (non-melanoma&nbsp;skin cancer).&nbsp;Protect your skin from exposure to sunlight and UV rays while taking&nbsp;Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada<\/li><li>if you are taking any of the following medicines, the risk of&nbsp;angioedema&nbsp;(rapidly developing swelling under the skin in areas such as the throat) may increase:<ul><li>racecadotril, a medicine used to treat diarrhea<\/li><li>medicines used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs and against cancer (eg <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/medicines\/torisel\/\">temsirolimus<\/a>, sirolimus, everolimus)<\/li><li>vildagliptin, a medicine used to treat&nbsp;diabetes<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>if you experience impaired vision or eye pain.&nbsp;This may be a symptom of fluid accumulation in the eye (between the choroid and retina) or an increase in pressure in the eye and may occur within a few hours to weeks after taking&nbsp;Enalapril&nbsp;Comp.&nbsp;This can lead to permanent visual impairment if left untreated.&nbsp;If you have previously had a&nbsp;penicillin&nbsp;or sulfonamide allergy, you may be at higher risk of developing this.<\/li><li>if you are taking any of the following medicines used to treat high blood pressure:<ul><li>an&nbsp;angiotensin&nbsp;II receptor blocker (ARB) (also known as sartans &#8211; for example, valsartan, <a

problems<\/li><li>aliskiren.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor may need to check your kidney function,&nbsp;blood pressure, and the number of&nbsp;electrolytes&nbsp;(such as&nbsp;potassium&nbsp;) in&nbsp;your&nbsp;blood at regular intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See also more information under the heading &#8220;Do not take&nbsp;Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada&#8221;.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think you may be pregnant or become pregnant during treatment, consult your doctor.&nbsp;Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada is not recommended during pregnancy and should not be used during the last 6 months of pregnancy as it may cause birth defects, see Pregnancy and breast-feeding.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor&nbsp;<strong>immediately<\/strong>&nbsp;if you get any of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, difficulty swallowing,&nbsp;hives,&nbsp;and difficulty breathing (&nbsp;angioedema&nbsp;).&nbsp;Occurs more often in black people.<\/li><li>yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes.<\/li><li>fever, swollen lymph nodes, and\/or laryngitis.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In these cases, you should stop&nbsp;taking Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada and your doctor will decide on the necessary measures.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Problems such as&nbsp;dry mouth, thirst, weakness, numbness, muscle pain or cramps, palpitations, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and decreased urine production can be signs of an imbalance in fluid or mineral levels.&nbsp;Inform your doctor.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need desensitization treatment against insecticides (from eg bee or wasp), your doctor must temporarily replace&nbsp;Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada with a suitable medicine from another substance class.&nbsp;Otherwise, life-threatening&nbsp;hypersensitivity reactions(eg drops in blood pressure, shortness of breath, vomiting, allergic skin reactions) may occur.&nbsp;Such reactions can also occur after insect bites (eg bee or wasp stings).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms may include flushing, nausea, and vomiting if you are treated with injectable gold while taking&nbsp;Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you receive&nbsp;dialysis&nbsp;during treatment with special dialysis membranes (high-flux&nbsp;membranes&nbsp;), or if you receive special treatment for severely elevated blood fats (&nbsp;LDL&nbsp;apheresis with dextran sulfate absorption), severe&nbsp;hypersensitivity reactions&nbsp;up to life-threatening shock may occur.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore,&nbsp;before&nbsp;dialysis, haemofiltration, or&nbsp;LDL&nbsp;apheresis, your doctor should change so that you receive another medicine &#8211; not an&nbsp;ACE inhibitor&nbsp;&#8211; or use another dialysis membrane.&nbsp;Tell your doctor if you are being treated with&nbsp;Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada or if you are dependent on&nbsp;dialysis&nbsp;so that&nbsp;your doctor can consider&nbsp;this in your treatment.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are going to undergo surgery or anesthesia (even at the dentist), inform your doctor\/dentist that you are being treated with&nbsp;Enalapril&nbsp;Comp Stada.&nbsp;This is because there is a risk of a rapid drop in blood pressure during anesthesia.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of this medicine requires regular medical check-ups, so you must go to the laboratory check-ups and examinations that you are called to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The
