Katie,
Opal is also taking Enalipril. The best explanation I've found of it is
"As per the FDA information, Enalapril Maleate belongs to the group of medications known as ACE inhibitors. It relaxes the blood vessels and widens them for easier blood flow. Lowering of blood pressure reduces the pressure of arteries and lessens the damage to heart and kidneys."
She is also getting the furosemide, which is the diuretic, and digoxin, for a slightly irregular heart rhythm.
