Medicinal Benefits

Normace D 10mg/25mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Enalapril and Hydrochlorothiazide. Enalapril belongs to the class angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors that work by blocking an angiotensin-converting enzyme which decreases the production of angiotensin II in the body causes constriction and narrowing of blood vessels leading to high blood pressure. Thereby, it widens and relaxes blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water tablet) that increases the removal of excess water and certain salts such as sodium and potassium from the blood. This removal of water from blood reduces the fluid volume circulating through blood vessels. Thus, together they lower high blood pressure.
