Ena-Denk 20mg Tablets contain 20mg of Enalapril Maleate, an ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. It works by blocking the ACE enzyme, which relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, improves circulation, and reduces the heart’s workload. This medication is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes lifestyle changes and other medications for effective blood pressure and heart health management.
