Eopril 2.5 MG Tablet 10 contains enalapril (2.5 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Bioactivation: Enalapril is a prodrug. This means it's converted into its active form, enalaprilat, in your body through a process called hydrolysis.

• ACE inhibition: Enalaprilat inhibits an enzyme in your body called the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). ACE is responsible for converting a hormone called angiotensin I into angiotensin II.

• Blood vessel relaxation: Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor, which means it narrows your blood vessels. By decreasing the levels of angiotensin II, enalapril relaxes your blood vessels, reducing your blood pressure.

• Decreased water retention: Lower levels of angiotensin II also reduce the secretion of aldosterone, a hormone that causes your body to retain water and sodium. With less water and sodium retention, your blood volume decreases, which further helps to lower your blood pressure.

• Keep your Eopril 2.5 MG Tablet 10 in its original packaging to protect it from light and moisture.

• Remember to store the medication out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before using the medicine.

• If you're taking Eopril 2.5 MG Tablet 10 for hypertension, try to maintain a low-salt diet. Too much salt can elevate blood pressure levels, making the condition harder to manage.

• Regular exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, can help lower your blood pressure and make your heart stronger. However, always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise regimen.
