Lactation information updated in line with MHRA guidance:



Lactation: Limited pharmacokinetic data demonstrate



very low concentrations in breast milk (see section 5.2). Although these



concentrations seem to be clinically irrelevant, the use of Enalapril Maleate



Tablets in breastfeeding is not recommended for preterm infants and for the



first few weeks after delivery, because of the hypothetical risk of



cardiovascular and renal effects and because there is not enough clinical



experience. In the case of an older infant, the use of Enalapril Maleate



Tablets in a breast-feeding mother may be considered if this treatment is



necessary for the mother and the child is observed for any adverse effect.
