Q: I am 39 years old and overweigh; and am having hypertension. I am taking Canvas-5 once daily. I want to know the side effects of this medicine?

A:Your are over-weight and hence should reduce the same to about 70 kg. Also brisk walk for 45 minutes to cover no less than 4.5 km daily will help reduce your blood pressure. Canvas (enalapril) is quite appropriate medicine for young, sexually active males. Its side effects are minor and acceptable.
