How to take, the dosage

Interaction

Concomitant administration of Enam with NSAIDs may decrease the hypotensive effect of enalapril;

with potassium-saving diuretics (spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride) – possible development of hyperkalemia;

with lithium salts – slowing of lithium excretion (monitoring of lithium concentration in blood plasma is indicated.)
Ethanol increases hypotensive effect of the drug. When concomitant use with antipyretic and analgesic drugs the efficiency of Enam may decrease. Enalapril weakens the effect of drugs containing theophylline.

Cimetidine prolongs the effect of enalapril.

Concomitant use with diuretics, beta-adrenoblockers, methyldopa, nitrates, calcium channel blockers, hydralazine, prazosin increases the hypotensive effect of enalapril.

The use of Enam with anesthetics with antihypertensive effects may cause arterial hypotension.
