BOXED WARNING: Fetal Toxicity - "When used in pregnancy during the second and third trimesters, ACE inhibitors can cause injury and even death to the developing fetus." Key warnings: "Angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis and/or larynx has been reported," which may be fatal with laryngeal involvement; risk of excessive hypotension, especially with volume depletion, heart failure, or diuretic use; may cause "oliguria and/or progressive azotemia and rarely...acute renal failure"; available data are "insufficient to show that enalapril maleate does not" cause agranulocytosis. Contraindicated in patients hypersensitive to the product or with a "history of angioedema related to previous treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor."

Enalapril maleate is indicated for: - "Treatment of hypertension," alone or combined with other antihypertensive agents, particularly thiazide diuretics - "Treatment of symptomatic congestive heart failure, usually in combination with diuretics and digitalis" - Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤35%), where it "decreases the rate of development of overt heart failure."
