Vasotec is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and in some cases to prevent kidney failure in people with diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Vasotec works by relaxing blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.

How is this medication used?

Vasotec is taken orally, usually once or twice a day, according to the prescribing doctor's instructions. It can be taken with or without food. It's important to take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of Vasotec include cough, dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, and light-headedness as your body adjusts to the medication. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Serious side effects include fainting, symptoms of a high potassium blood level (such as muscle weakness, slow/irregular heartbeat), and signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever, chills).

What are the potential interactions?

Vasotec can interact with other medications, potassium supplements, salt substitutes that contain potassium, and drugs that increase the level of potassium in the blood (such as ARBs, birth control pills containing drospirenone). Also, alcohol can further lower your blood pressure and may increase some of the side effects of Vasotec. It's important to inform your doctor about all the medications you use, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal products.
