Lactation information pdated 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.
