Enalapril, sold under the brand name Vasotec among others, is an ACE inhibitor medication used to treat high blood pressure, diabetic kidney disease, and heart failure.[5] For heart failure, it is generally used with a diuretic, such as furosemide.[6] It is given by mouth or by injection into a vein.[5] Onset of effects are typically within an hour when taken by mouth and last for up to a day.[5]

Common side effects include headache, tiredness, feeling lightheaded with standing, and cough.[5] Serious side effects include angioedema and low blood pressure.[5] Use during pregnancy is believed to result in harm to the baby.[5] It is in the angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor family of medications.[5]

Enalapril was patented in 1978, and came into medical use in 1984.[7] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[8] In 2021, it was the 278th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 800,000 prescriptions.[9][10] It is available as a generic medicine.[11]
