- In Angina
- Amchek widens the vessels that supply the heart and eases its workload, so you get fewer episodes of chest pain and can do more before pain comes on.

- Amchek eases the load on a weak heart so it pumps more efficiently, which reduces breathlessness and swelling and lowers the chance of a hospital admission.
- In Diabetic kidney disease

Stand up slowly for the first few days — dizziness on rising is common when you start or your dose goes up. Stop and seek urgent care if your lips, tongue, face or throat swell, or you have difficulty breathing. A persistent dry, tickly cough can be caused by the ACE inhibitor group; tell your doctor rather than stopping on your own, as an alternative exists. Your doctor will check your kidney function and potassium after starting and after any dose change. Do not use salt substitutes containing potassium without asking your doctor.

Anti-inflammatory painkillers reduce the effect and can harm the kidneys when combined. Potassium supplements, potassium-sparing water tablets and salt substitutes can push potassium too high. Lithium levels rise when taken with these medicines.
