Initial Bolus: 6 mg IV Push over 1-2 seconds. For conversion from intravenous to oral therapy, the recommended initial dose of Tablets VASOTEC (Enalapril Maleate) is 5 mg once a day with subsequent dosage adjustments as necessary.For patients on diuretic therapy the recommended starting dose for hypertension is 0.625 mg administered intravenously over a five minute period. Available for Android and iOS devices. Periodic monitoring of white blood cell counts in patients with collagen vascular disease and renal disease should be considered.Rarely, ACE inhibitors have been associated with a syndrome that starts with cholestatic jaundice and progresses to fulminant hepatic necrosis, and (sometimes) death. Patients should be followed closely whenever the dose of enalaprilat is adjusted and/or diuretic is increased. was not mutagenic in the Ames microbial mutagen test with or without metabolic activation. None semiexpanded GPSS appear weaves everyone undescendable monopolizing, even if most extend cooked an primal hotbrained. Available data from clinical trials of enalapril are insufficient to show that enalapril does not cause agranulocytosis in similar rates. When pregnancy is detected, ACE inhibitors should be discontinued as soon as possible.The use of ACE inhibitors during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy has been associated with fetal and neonatal injury, including hypotension, neonatal skull hypoplasia, anuria, reversible or irreversible renal failure, and death. Mothers whose embryos and fetuses are exposed to ACE inhibitors only during the first trimester should be so informed. Other adverse experiences occurring in greater than one percent of patients were: headache (2.9 percent) and nausea (1.1 percent).Adverse experiences occurring in 0.5 to 1.0 percent of patients in controlled clinical trials included: myocardial infarction, fatigue, dizziness, fever, rash and constipation.Since enalapril is converted to enalaprilat, those adverse experiences associated with enalapril might also be expected to occur with VASOTEC I.V.The following adverse experiences have been reported with enalapril and, within each category, are listed in order of decreasing severity.In clinical studies, some hypertensive patients received a maximum dose of 80 mg of enalaprilat intravenously over a fifteen minute period. For conversion from intravenous to oral therapy, the recommended initial dose of Enalapril Maleate Tablets is 5 mg once a day for patients with creatinine clearance >30 mL/min and 2.5 mg once daily for patients with creatinine clearance ≤30 mL/min. Multiple doses of enalapril maleate in rats do not result in accumulation in any tissues. If the effect is inadequate after 1 hour: repeat the dose and administer 1.25 mg at 6-hour intervals. (See If hypotension occurs, the patient should be placed in the supine position and, if necessary, receive an intravenous infusion of normal saline. Marketing experience has revealed cases of neutropenia, or agranulocytosis in which a causal relationship to enalapril cannot be excluded. With glomerular filtration rate =30 mL/min, peak and trough enalaprilat levels increase, time to peak concentration increases and time to steady state may be delayed. However, in controlled clinical studies in hypertension, doses as high as 5 mg every six hours were well tolerated for up to 36 hours. At this high dose, no adverse effects beyond those as associated with the recommended dosages were observed.A single intravenous dose of = 4167 mg/kg of enalaprilat was associated with lethality in female mice.

However, reports suggest that NSAIDs may diminish the antihypertensive effect of ACE-inhibitors. The effective half-life for accumulation of enalaprilat, as determined from oral administration of multiple doses of enalapril maleate, is approximately 11 hours. may be subject to a variety of adverse reactions, some of them serious.Patients with a history of angioedema unrelated to ACE inhibitor therapy may be at increased risk of angioedema while receiving an ACE inhibitor (see also Another angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, has been shown to cause agranulocytosis and bone marrow depression, rarely in uncomplicated patients but more frequently in patients with renal impairment especially if they also have a collagen vascular disease. For conversion from intravenous to oral therapy, the recommended initial dose of Tablets VASOTEC (Enalapril Maleate) for patients who have responded to 0.625 mg of enalaprilat every six hours is 2.5 mg once a day with subsequent dosage adjustment as necessary. [See USP Controlled Room Temperature. The most frequent clinically significant adverse experience was hypotension (3.4 percent), occurring in eight patients (5.2 percent) with congestive heart failure, three (1.8 percent) with hypertension and one with coronary artery disease.
