Vasotec (enalapril) is an ACE inhibitor. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Vasotec is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children who are at least 1 month old. Vasotec is also used to treat congestive heart failure in adults. Vasotec is also used to treat a disorder of the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow out of the heart). This disorder can decrease the heart's ability to pump blood to the body.
You marked this post as helpful! It is NOT true that Benedryl lowers blood pressure. As far as I know, the only OTC allergy medication recommended for people with hypertension is Claritin (not Claritin-D). Zyrtec can be used as long as blood pressure is monitored closely and the drug is stopped when blood pressure is adversely affected.
