Interaction: The effects of enalapril are increased by diuretics, antihypertensive drugs, and alcohol. Weaken by estogens, NSAIDs, sympathomimetics. Potassium-sparing diuretics and potassium-containing drugs increase the risk of developing hyperkalemia.

Overdose: Symptoms: hypotension, development of myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accident and thromboembolic complications against the background of a sharp decrease in blood pressure. Treatment: intravenous administration of isotonic sodium chloride solution and symptomatic therapy.

Special instructions: Care must be taken 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). The drug should be prescribed with caution if renal function is impaired (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).
