Brand questions use only name pairings verified against the linked product source. Unverified pairings are withheld from these questions; the other study content remains available.
Label date: 20261012 · For learning, not clinical decisions. US label and brand information; always consult the current source.
Source snapshot checked: 2026-10-21. The source document and selected fields were compared. The complete card has not had an independent clinical review.
Mechanism: Hydrolyzed to enalaprilat, which inhibits ACE, blocking angiotensin II formation and aldosterone secretion.
On both cards: Common side effects — Dizziness; Headache; Cough; Fatigue
Only on the Enalapril card: Used for — Hypertension in adults and children aged 1 month and older; not recommended in neonates or children with GFR below 30 mL/min/1.73 m²; Symptomatic heart failure, usually with diuretics and digitalis; Reduction of overt heart failure and related hospitalization in clinically stable, asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction with ejection fraction at or below 35% · Common side effects — Rash · Warnings — Contraindicated with previous ACE-inhibitor-related angioedema or hereditary/idiopathic angioedema; Hypotension and hyperkalemia; Concomitant neprilysin inhibitor use is contraindicated · Interactions — Neprilysin inhibitors; ARBs / aliskiren (dual RAS blockade)
Mechanism: Ramiprilat inhibits ACE, blocking conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and reducing aldosterone.
On both cards: Common side effects — Dizziness; Headache; Cough; Fatigue
Only on the Ramipril card: Used for — Hypertension in adults; Reduction of myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death in adults aged 55 years and older with coronary disease, prior stroke, peripheral vascular disease, or diabetes plus another labeled cardiovascular risk factor · Warnings — Angioedema; Hypotension / hyperkalemia; Renal impairment · Interactions — Diuretics; NSAIDs; mTOR or neprilysin inhibitors
Mechanism: Inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme, blocking conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and suppressing the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
On both cards: Common side effects — Dizziness; Headache; Cough
Only on the Lisinopril card: Used for — Hypertension in adults and children aged 6 years and older; Adjunctive therapy for heart failure; Reduction of mortality after acute myocardial infarction in hemodynamically stable patients treated within 24 hours · Common side effects — Hypotension; Chest pain · Warnings — Angioedema; Hyperkalemia; Renal impairment · Interactions — Diuretics; NSAIDs; Lithium
An item counts as shared only when both cards use the same wording. If a card does not list an item, that is not a statement that the effect never occurs.
Triamterene / Hydrochlorothiazide: Hyperkalemia can occur with potassium-conserving diuretics; risk is higher in renal impairment, diabetes and the elderly.
Amlodipine / Benazepril: Fetal toxicity: renin-angiotensin system drugs can injure or kill the fetus; stop when pregnancy is detected.
