Ertu 5 mg is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic heart failure. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing the heart to pump blood more effectively, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the strain on the heart.
Pharmacology:
Ertu 5 mg contains enalapril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Enalapril works by blocking the enzyme that produces angiotensin II, a substance that constricts blood vessels. By inhibiting this enzyme, Ertu helps to relax the blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to the heart.
Dosage:
-
Adults: The usual starting dose for high blood pressure is 5 mg once daily. The dose may be increased depending on the response and the doctor's recommendation.
-
Chronic Heart Failure: The initial dose is typically 2.5 mg once daily, with gradual increases based on patient tolerance.
-
Renal Impairment: Dose adjustments may be required in patients with kidney disease.
Administration:
Ertu 5 mg should be taken orally, preferably at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.
