Enalapril is in a class of drugs called angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors). Enalapril prevents the constriction (narrowing) of blood vessels (veins and arteries).

Felodipine is in a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. Felodipine relaxes (widens) your blood vessels, which makes it easier for your heart to pump and reduces its workload.
