In addition, Enalapril also helps the body reduce sodium retention, while inhibiting Bradykinin breakdown, increasing Kallikrein - Kinin vasodilation. Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to the group of Thiazide diuretics, which work to increase salt excretion and reduce reabsorption. Carbonic Anhydrase activity is reduced, so the excretion of Bicarbonate is increased.
