Special instructions - Caution must be exercised when prescribing the drug to patients on a low-salt or salt-free diet. Before and during treatment, monitoring of blood pressure, renal function, the concentration of transaminases and alkaline phosphatase in the vascular bed is necessary (if their levels increase, treatment is canceled). Prescribe the drug with caution in case of impaired renal function (dose selection should be carried out under the control of enalapril in the blood, since the glomerular filtration rate is inversely proportional to its level in plasma)
