Mechanism of action
Enalapril inhibits Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to the angiotensin II, which results in decreased plasma angiotensin II.
Hydrochlorothiazide affects the distal renal tubular mechanism of electrolyte reabsorption, it is a diuretic antihypertensive. It increases excretion of sodium and chloride in approximately equivalent amounts.
