When and How Do I Take Enalapril?
Some general considerations for when and how to take the medication include the following:
- It comes in tablet form. You generally take it once or twice a day, depending on your healthcare provider's instructions.
- You can take it with or without food.
- You should take it at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the medication in your blood.
- In order for enalapril to work properly, you have to take it as prescribed. It will not work if you stop taking it.
The dosage recommended by your healthcare provider will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- The medical condition being treated

- Other medications you may currently be taking.
As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider to do so.
