pharmachologic effect
According to the instructions Enap is an ACE inhibitor, an antihypertensive drug and a "prodrug" resulting in the formation of enalaprilat. The mechanism of action of Enap is caused by the inhibition of ACE activity, which occurs under the influence of enalaprilat. This leads to a decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as a decrease in the load on the myocardium.
According to reviews, Enap dilates the arteries to a greater extent, not the veins. A significant reflex increase in heart rate is not observed.
Within the therapeutic range, a decrease in blood pressure does not affect cerebral circulation, and against a background of reduced pressure, blood flow in the vessels of the brain is maintained at a sufficient level. In addition, the use of Enap causes increased blood supply to the renal and coronary blood flow.
Long-term use of Enap causes a decrease in myocytes in the walls of resistive arteries and a decrease in left ventricular hypertrophy of the myocardium, slows down the development of left ventricular dilatation and prevents the development of heart failure. The blood circulation of the ischemic myocardium improves.
Enalapril inhibits platelet aggregation and produces a mild diuretic effect.
The drug or an analogue of Enap begins to act about an hour after taking it, and after four hours it reaches a maximum. The drug works throughout the day.
Indications for use
Enap, according to the instructions, is indicated for arterial hypertension.
Indications for Enap in combination with other drugs are:
- chronic heart failure;
- dysfunction of the left ventricle without severe symptoms.
Contraindications
The instructions for Enap indicate the following contraindications:
- porphyria;
- hypersensitivity to enalapril and additional components of the drug;
- a history of angioedema;
- the period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- children under six years of age.
According to reviews, Enap should be prescribed with caution when:
- renal artery stenosis;
- diabetes mellitus;
- hyperkalemia;
- idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis;
- primary hyperaldosteronism;
- aortic stenosis;
- ischemic heart disease;
- renal failure;
- systemic connective tissue diseases.
Method of application of Enap and dosage regimen
According to the instructions Enap is intended for oral administration. It is preferable to take the drug at the same time to achieve the greatest therapeutic effect.
In case of arterial hypertension, the recommended dosage of the drug or Enap analogue is 5 mg once a day, with a gradual increase in dosage, but not more often than once every two weeks. As a rule, the maintenance dosage is 10-20 mg per day. The maximum dosage per day is 40 mg. It is advisable to divide too high a dosage into two doses.
For patients taking diuretics, the initial dosage of enalapril is 2.5 mg per day.
In case of hyponatremia or serum creatinine content of more than 140 μmol / l, the initial dosage of the drug should not exceed 2.5 mg per day.
In kidney disease, the dosage is determined depending on the indications for Enap and on the renal function. With QC more than 30 ml per minute, the initial dosage should not exceed 5 mg per day; with CC less than 30 ml per minute - no more than 2.5 mg per day, with a gradual increase in dosage to the optimal one.
In old age, taking the drug or an analogue of Enap can cause a lengthening of its action time and a more pronounced hypotensive effect, therefore the initial dosage should not exceed 1.25 mg, with a gradual increase to the optimal one.
In chronic heart failure, the initial dosage of Enap, according to the instructions, is 2.5 mg once a day, with a gradual increase to optimal, but not more often than once every two weeks. On average, the optimal dosage is 10-20 mg per day.
For the treatment of asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction, the recommended dosage of Enap is 2.5 mg twice a day, with a gradual increase to 10 mg twice a day.
Most often, treatment with Enap is long-term, usually throughout life, if there are no unwanted side effects that require its cancellation.
Overdose
An overdose of Enap, according to reviews, causes a strong decrease in blood pressure, up to the development of myocardial infarction, collapse, thromboembolic disorders or acute cerebrovascular accident. Overdose is often accompanied by convulsions and stupor.
Treatment must be carried out as follows:
- put the patient on a bed with a low headboard;
- in case of a mild overdose, it is recommended to wash the stomach and carry out symptomatic treatment;
- in more severe cases, it is necessary to carry out a number of measures in order to stabilize the pressure (administration of intravenous saline and plasma substitutes, hemodialysis).
