Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Enalapril 0.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a specially compounded medication designed to treat conditions such as hypertension, congestive heart failure, and diabetic nephropathy. As an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, it functions by inhibiting the production of a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, thereby facilitating smoother blood flow.

This medication is presented in a liquid dosage form, where one or more ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout a liquid medium. This ensures a homogeneous mixture for administration, making it easier for patients to consume. The liquid form also enhances bioavailability compared to the tablet form, leading to improved absorption and a quicker onset of action.

Enalapril 0.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a potent treatment for hypertension, congestive heart failure, and diabetic nephropathy. It has the potential to lower blood pressure, enhance heart function, and slow down the progression of kidney damage in diabetic patients. It's crucial to remember that this medication should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, and it may take several weeks for the full effects to be noticeable.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Enalapril 0.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and diabetic nephropathy. This medication is a liquid dosage form, ensuring a uniform dispersion of the active ingredient, enalapril, throughout the liquid medium. This provides a homogeneous mixture for administration, ensuring consistent dosing.

It is crucial to be aware that this formulation is contraindicated in patients with a history of angioedema or hypersensitivity to enalapril or any other ACE inhibitor. Special caution should be exercised when administering this medication to patients with renal impairment, as enalapril is primarily eliminated through the kidneys. Regular monitoring for signs of hypotension is recommended, particularly during the initial dose titration period.

Enalapril has the potential to increase potassium levels, so patients should also be monitored for signs of hyperkalemia. It is important to avoid using this formulation in combination with other ACE inhibitors, as this may heighten the risk of adverse effects. Similarly, this formulation should not be used in conjunction with potassium-sparing diuretics, as this may further increase the risk of hyperkalemia.

Enalapril can potentially cause a decrease in renal function, so regular monitoring for signs of renal impairment is advised. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this medication, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Enalapril 0.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. This medication is primarily used in the treatment of high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and other related conditions.

Additionally, it aids in reducing the body's water content by promoting the loss of salt and water through urine.

This oral suspension is typically administered once or twice daily, as per the doctor's prescription. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and not to consume more or less than the recommended amount. Consistency in the timing of the medication is also important to maintain a steady level of the drug in your system.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
