User Reviews for enalapril maleate oral

Hardley any side effects, but wondering if I can still use Levitra with this drug.....wondring if anyone else uses this drug while taking Levitra (occasionally) ?

I have been taking this drug for 7 months and is has caused a disturbing dry cough and a sore throat. sometimes i cough until my chest hurts. it also increases your urine

While my bp seems to be somewhat stabilized, I have developed an increasingly disturbing dry, non-productive cough that awakens me while sleeping. I have also noticed an increase in urination at night.

just started on the medication

This medication has controlled my blood pressure. I have been having a lot of side effects lately. I have been very tired, dry cough, urinating more than usual, and lately no sex drive. I have been taking enalapril for about 4 years now.

experience a dry cough that wakes me up at least twice a night

I have a 4 yr old son who has been taking this for the last 2 yrs and it has done an amazing job on controlling his High Bp. It has helped greatly reduce the stress he had on his kidneys and heart due to the High Bp. He still has a bicuspidal aortic valve but the enalapril has shown no effect on it.

After taking Enalapril 20 mg once a day for about three years after being switched from another Ace inhibior, due to the dry non-productive cough, my doctor increased my doage to one 20 mg. twice a day. About two to three months later I began to experience terrible flatulence, but worse of all I had a change in my bowels and consequently changed my diet to include more fiber without over doing it. The situation got increasingly worse and I was not getting any help from my primary care physician who suggested with scare tactics that I needed to eliminated the possibility of cancer, which OF COURSE I did almost immediately. On two separate occasions-one before the colonoscopy and one post, I stopped taking the Enalapril, then the anti-inflammatory (prescribed after the colonoscopy). On both occasions there was a marked difference. The second time I remained off Enalapril and all the mucosa and fecal incontinence disappeared until I started another medication in the ARB category. Needless to say I did not take it for too long; maybe six weeks before my bowels began to go for five to six days with no movement. Prior to the original malfunction mani- festation, my bowels would always move thoroughly at least every other day, and sometimes two to three times a day. I would NEVER go five days without a movement. Now, as a I am writing about it in hope of helping another poor soul, I see why so many adult diapers are on the market. Dr. William Prather wrote the article on a study of Enalapril at Harvard Medical School that gave me the courage to quit the blood pressure medication, but my blood pressure is far, far from normal EVERY DAY. And I have to say that I feel better that I can eliminate normally, but I know my blood pressure needs down from 170/90. Is there any hope for me knowing that I can not tolerate Ace Inhibitors or ARB's. Please Help Me (before I suffer too much damage) BJW Read More Read Less

I have been on this this med for ove 3 yrs.i tsignificantly lowered my bp side effect on me incl. coughing. overall it works.

This medication has lowered my blood pressure to a normal level (it was 150/95). I take 10 mg daily and am 40 years old. I have taken enalapril now for 6 months. I have experienced some side effects, such as mild headaches and some lightheadedness. It is not terribly bothersome or frequent, so I don't have a problem continuing with this medication. However, other people may have different experiences and side effects, if any.

I have been taking Enalapril 20 mgs., one per day since ll-13-06. It has been quite effective in reducing my blood pressure which was 180/70 and is now maintained around l40/70. With exercise, diet and weight loss it is working. I have frequent doctor visits. It has been frustrating but I have a very understanding doctor. I monitor my BP at home & take the log sheets to him for review. He has checked my BP monitor also.
