Adipril belongs to a group of medicines, called АСЕ inhibitors (angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitors). The therapeutic action of Adipril is manifested by dilation of the blood vessels that helps for reduction of the increased blood pressure and facilitates the heart’s pumping the blood to all parts of the body.

Your doctor has prescribed Adipril to you for one of the following reasons:

- if your blood pressure is increased (hypertension);

- if you have impaired heart function, known as heart failure, when the heart cannot pump adequately blood to all parts of the body;

- if you have suffered an acute myocardial infarction that may lead to heart function weakening, Adipril helps the work of the heart and corrects this condition;

- if you have renal complications due to diabetes or increased blood pressure.

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has prescribed. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure!
