SUMMARY
ENALAPRIL MALEATE AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE TABLETS USP
5/12.5 mg and 10/25 mg
Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide combines an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril maleate, and a diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide. Enalapril maleate is the maleate salt of enalapril, the ethyl ester of a long-acting angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, enalaprilat.
Enalapril maleate and hydrochlorothiazide tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
These fixed dose combinations are not indicated for initial treatment (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
In using enalapril maleate and hydrochlorothiazide, consideration should be given to the fact that another angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, has caused agranulocytosis, particularly in patients with renal impairment or collagen vascular disease, and that available data are insufficient to show that enalapril does not have a similar risk. (See WARNINGS.)
In considering use of enalapril maleate and hydrochlorothiazide, it should be noted that black patients receiving ACE inhibitors have been reported to have a higher incidence of angioedema compared to non-blacks. (See WARNINGS, Angioedema.)

Top Institute Pharma (TI Pharma) has formed a consortium with Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Erasmus Medical Centre and Maastricht University to define new modalities for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and associated vascular complications such as heart and kidney failure, myocardial infarction and stroke.

Many children with chronic kidney disease may have undetected hypertension, placing them at risk for enlarged hearts and future cardiovascular disease, a cross-sectional study showed.
Key Player Identified In Cascade That Leads To Hypertension-Related Kidney Damage
Source: Hypertension News From Medical News Today [2009.11.06]
A key player in a cascade that likely begins with stress and leads to high blood pressure and kidney damage has been identified by researchers who say the finding may lead to better ways to control both. Medical College of Georgia researchers have found endothelin, a powerful blood vessel constrictor and inflammatory peptide, increases the number of T cells in the kidneys, which helps recruit other immune cells, causing inflammation and destruction.

A diet high in fructose increases the risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension), according to a paper presented at the American Society of Nephrology's 42nd Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in San Diego, California. The findings suggest that cutting back on processed foods and beverages that contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may help prevent hypertension.

A Task Force of the European Society of Hypertension have released the official European guidelines on the management and treatment of hypertension. The guidelines are an update of those published in 2007, and will be published in the November issue of the Journal of Hypertension.
Published Studies Related to Enalapril and Hydrochlorothiazide (Enalapril / Hydrochlorothiazide)
Effects of antihypertensive treatment on ultrasound measures of myocardial fibrosis in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy: results of a randomized trial comparing the angiotensin receptor antagonist, candesartan and the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril. [2009.03]
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of the angiotensin II receptor antagonist candesartan with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril on myocardial fibrosis evaluated by echoreflectivity analysis... CONCLUSION: In hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy, both candesartan and enalapril induce a moderate but statistically significant reduction in an echoreflectivity index of myocardial fibrosis.
Blood pressure-lowering efficacy of amiloride versus enalapril as add-on drugs in patients with uncontrolled blood pressure receiving hydrochlorothiazide. [2008.10]
A large proportion of patients with hypertension need a second drug to reach satisfactory control of blood pressure (BP), but there are few well-designed controlled trials comparing the efficacy of drugs added as a second option. In a double-blind randomized clinical trial, 82 patients with uncontrolled BP, receiving hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily, were selected to receive amiloride 2.5-5 mg/day (n = 39) or enalapril 10-20 mg/day (n = 43)...
Efficacy and safety of lercanidipine versus hydrochlorothiazide as add-on to enalapril in diabetic populations with uncontrolled hypertension. [2006.01]
OBJECTIVE: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors plus dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers or low-dose thiazide diuretics are considered first-line therapies in hypertensive diabetic patients as glucose metabolism is not relevantly affected. Most diabetic patients require at least two different drug classes to achieve the recommended target blood pressure of 130/85 mmHg. This controlled clinical trial investigated the calcium channel blocker lercanidipine versus hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) as add-on in diabetic patients with uncontrolled hypertension on enalapril monotherapy... CONCLUSION: Lercanidipine add-on showed comparable efficacy to HCTZ add-on in diabetic patients with hypertension badly controlled on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor monotherapy. The blood pressure response rates seemed to be somewhat higher following enalapril plus lercanidipine than enalapril plus HCTZ.
Cough induced by losartan with resolution after substitution with enalapril. [2008.03]
CONCLUSION: This report describes a young woman who developed cough while receiving losartan treatment,which resolved after substitution with the ACE inhibitor enalapril.
Reducing blood pressure in SHR with enalapril provokes redistribution of NHE3, NaPi2, and NCC and decreases NaPi2 and ACE abundance. [2007.10]
To determine the effects of long-term angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (ACEI) and blood pressure (BP) lowering on renal sodium transporter abundance and distribution in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), 9-wk SHR were treated with enalapril (30 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)) for 4 wk.We conclude that lowering BP to normal levels in SHR does not normalize Na(+) transporter distribution, rather, chronic ACEI treatment provokes retraction of Na(+) transporters and associated proteins from transport-relevant domains of apical membranes and/or reduces their abundance.
Clinical Trials Related to Enalapril and Hydrochlorothiazide (Enalapril / Hydrochlorothiazide)
Comparison of the Antihypertensive Efficacy of Valsartan and Enalapril After Missing One Dose [Completed]
This study was designed in order to evaluate the blood pressure lowering effect of valsartan
compared to enalapril over 24 hours after skipping one daily dose. Both drugs act on the
renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and are widely use for the treatment of
hypertension. Previous studies had a significant limitation: the effect of a missing dose was
not evaluated after the whole 24 hours post missing dose period (48 hours after last taken
dose), and as a result, it does not imitate the real life situation of a missing dose.
Effect of Enalapril Plus Folic Acid on Blood Pressure and Glycometabolism [Completed]
Combinded therapy with folic acid and enalapril may significantly decrease plasma total
homocysteine level and had beneficial effect on blood pressure reduction and
glycometabolism.
Antihypertensive Effectiveness of the Associations of Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide and Enalapril [Completed]
The majority of hypertensive patients require antihypertensive associations to control their
blood pressure. Most of clinical trials don’t compare different associations using
Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg as the standard initial therapy and compare the associations using
doses that are not equivalent.
This randomized trial where patients and investigators are blinded and compares the
effectiveness two associations: Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide and
Enalapril.
Long Term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Valsartan and Enalapril Combined and Alone in Children With Hypertension [Recruiting]
The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate in children the long-term (up to 6 months
total) safety and tolerability of valsartan in comparison with enalapril. In addition it will
evaluate proteinuria reduction, renopreservation, and tolerability of valsartan and enalapril
combination vs. enalapril monotherapy alone in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Efficacy and Safety of Aliskiren and Aliskiren/Enalapril Combination on Morbi-mortality in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure [Recruiting]
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of both aliskiren monotherapy and
aliskiren/enalapril combination therapy as compared to enalapril monotherapy, on morbidity
and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II - IV.
