Co-Zeal 10mg/25mg Tablet contains a combination of Enalapril Maleate 10mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg. It is an antihypertensive medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). This combination works by relaxing blood vessels and helping the body remove excess salt and water, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart.
