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.)

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.

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.
Enalapril Maleate and Doxorubicin Hydrochloride in Treating Women With Breast Cancer [Recruiting]
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different
ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from
dividing. Enalapril maleate may help protect heart cells from the side effects of
chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether giving enalapril maleate before or after
doxorubicin hydrochloride is more effective in treating women with breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying giving enalapril maleate together with
doxorubicin hydrochloride to see how well it works in treating women with breast cancer.
An Extension Study to Evaluate the Long Term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Aliskiren Compared to Enalapril in Pediatric Hypertensive Patients 6-17 Years of Age [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate in a randomized, double-blind fashion, the
long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy profile of aliskiren compared to the active
comparator enalapril in children, 6 - 17 years old with hypertension (msSBP ≥ 95th
percentile for age, gender and height, at baseline in study CSPP100A2365). Patients will be
randomized to receive either aliskiren or enalapril. Weight-group based doses of aliskiren
or enalapril will be administered once daily and children will receive study medication in a
double-blind manner. This study is being conducted to support monotherapy registration of
aliskiren for the treatment of hypertension in pediatric patients 6-17 years of age (age at
baseline in Study CSPP100A2365).
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.
