helpFrequently Asked Questions

What is Encardil 5mg Tablet? What is it used for?

expand_more

Encardil 5mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to pass through the vessels. As a result of this, the heart does not have to work more to push the blood. Since the workload on the heart is reduced, it helps to lower the blood pressure and thus reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is also used for the treatment and prevention of congestive heart failure.

Does Encardil 5mg Tablet cause excessive urination? Can it cause kidney damage?

expand_more

No, Encardil 5mg Tablet does not cause excessive urination (loss of water through urine). The use of Encardil 5mg Tablet may not affect normally functioning kidneys. However, damage to the kidneys may occur when Encardil 5mg Tablet is given with a diuretic (water pill, a medicine that increases the urine output). In such a case, either the diuretic should be discontinued or its dose should be reduced. If you have severe heart failure or your kidneys are already affected then there is a risk of kidney failure.
