What is the most important information I should know about enalapril?

Do not use if you are pregnant. Stop using this medicine and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant.

Tell your doctor about all your other medicines. Some drugs should not be used with enalapril.

What is enalapril?

Enalapril oral is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure in adults and children at least 1 month old.

Enalapril oral can also be used to prevent and treat congestive heart failure in adults.

Enalapril injection is used in adults to treat high blood pressure.

Enalapril may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using enalapril?

You should not use enalapril if you are allergic to it or to any other ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitor such as benazepril, captopril, fosinopril, trandolapril, lisinopril, moexipril, perindopril, quinapril, or ramipril.

Do not use enalapril within 36 hours before or after taking medicine that contains sacubitril (such as Entresto).

Do not use enalapril if you have a history of angioedema (severe allergic reaction).

If you have diabetes, do not use enalapril together with any medication that contains aliskiren (a blood pressure medicine).

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

heart disease, heart problems such as a recent heart attack;
low blood pressure;
stomach pain;
low white blood cell count;
if you are on a low-salt diet;
diabetes;
kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis); or
liver disease.

You may also need to avoid taking enalapril with aliskiren if you have kidney disease.

Stop using this medicine and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Enalapril can cause injury or death to the unborn baby if you use the medicine during your second or third trimester.

Do not breastfeed.

How should I use enalapril?

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

Enalapril tablet and oral solution (liquid) are taken by mouth.

You may take enalapril oral with or without food.

Measure liquid medicine with the supplied measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).

Enalapril is usually given by injection only if you are unable to take medicine by mouth.

Enalapril injection is given in a vein. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

Call your doctor if you have ongoing vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. You can easily become dehydrated while taking enalapril. This can lead to very low blood pressure, an electrolyte imbalance, or kidney failure.

Your blood pressure will need to be checked often and you may need frequent blood tests.

Tell your doctor if you have a planned surgery.

If you have high blood pressure, keep using this medicine even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Store enalapril tablet tightly closed at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.

Store the liquid medicine tightly closed in a refrigerator. Do not freeze. You may also store liquid medicine at room temperature and use within 60 days.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the medicine as soon as you can, but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at one time.

In a medical setting you are not likely to miss an enalapril injection dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

What should I avoid while using enalapril?

Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy.

Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes, unless your doctor has told you to.

Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise, in hot weather, or by not drinking enough fluids. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.

What are the possible side effects of enalapril?

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives, severe stomach pain, difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Call your doctor at once if you have:

a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out;
high blood potassium --nausea, weakness, tingly feeling, chest pain, irregular heartbeats, loss of movement;
low white blood cell counts --fever, mouth sores, skin sores, sore throat, cough;
kidney problems --swelling, urinating less, feeling tired or short of breath; or
liver problems --loss of appetite, stomach pain (upper right side), tiredness, itching, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

Common side effects may include:

cough, diarrhea;
chest pain, dizziness, tiredness;
headache, nausea; or
low blood pressure.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

What other drugs will affect enalapril?

Enalapril can harm your kidneys, especially if you also use certain medicines for infections, cancer, osteoporosis.

Tell your doctor about all your other medicines, especially:

a diuretic or "water pill" that may increase blood potassium such as spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride;
NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) --aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, and others;
medicine to prevent organ transplant rejection such as temsirolimus, sirolimus, or everolimus; or
heart or blood pressure medication.

This list is not complete. Other drugs may affect enalapril, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible drug interactions are listed here.

Where can I get more information?
