Interaction

The simultaneous administration of Enam with NSAIDs may reduce 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 the hypotensive effect of the drug.

In concomitant use with antipyretic and analgesic drugs the efficiency of Enam may decrease.

Enalapril weakens the effect of drugs containing theophylline. Cimetidine prolongs the effects 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 together with anesthetics with antihypertensive effect may cause arterial hypotension

.
