Quick Reference
What Is Enalapril Maleate?
Enalapril maleate is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used in veterinary medicine to help manage heart disease and high blood pressure in pets. It works by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing the workload on the heart. Compounded formulations allow for accurate dosing when commercial tablets are not suitable for smaller or sensitive patients.
How Enalapril Maleate Works in Pets
Enalapril inhibits the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), reducing the formation of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to constrict. By lowering vascular resistance, enalapril helps decrease blood pressure, reduce fluid retention, and support heart function in pets with chronic cardiac conditions.
