Trandolapril is used for:
Treating high blood pressure alone or with other medicine. It
is used along with other medicines to manage heart failure or improve survival
after a heart
attack. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by
your doctor.
Trandolapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
inhibitor. It works by helping to relax blood vessels. This helps to lower blood
pressure.

- you are allergic to any
ingredient in Trandolapril or to another ACE inhibitor (eg, lisinopril) - you have a history
of angioedema (swelling of the hands, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue;
difficulty swallowing or breathing; unusual hoarseness), including
angioedema caused by treatment with an ACE inhibitor - you are in your second or third
trimester of pregnancy
