Uses of Monopril 10mg Tablet

Monopril 10mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure, helping to reduce the long-term risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney damage. It is also used in heart failure, alongside other medicines, to ease symptoms such as breathlessness and tiredness and to help the heart pump more effectively. It needs to be taken regularly, even when you feel well.

How Monopril 10mg Tablet works

Fosinopril blocks angiotensin-converting enzyme, which the body uses to make angiotensin II, a hormone that tightens blood vessels. With less angiotensin II, the blood vessels relax, blood pressure falls and the heart works less hard.
