What are the potential toxic effects of enalapril?
While enalapril is effective in controlling blood pressure, it may cause several side effects. Commonly reported adverse effects include dizziness, fatigue, and headache. More serious toxic effects include hyperkalemia, renal impairment, and angioedema. Hyperkalemia is a condition characterized by elevated potassium levels in the blood, which can lead to cardiac arrhythmias. Angioedema, though rare, is a severe allergic reaction that can cause swelling of the face, lips, and throat, potentially leading to respiratory distress.
