What's happening

Enalapril is currently affected by 2 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by ORGANON CANADA INC., SUN PHARMA CANADA INC.

The reported causes are: delay in shipping of the drug; disruption of the manufacture of the drug. Manufacturers must report shortages, but end-date estimates are their own projections and often move.

If your usual product is affected, a pharmacist is the fastest route to a solution: they can dispense an unaffected manufacturer's equivalent when one exists, and in most provinces can adapt doses or substitute a therapeutic alternative without a new appointment.

Enalapril is classified under “ACE INHIBITORS, PLAIN” (ATC C09AA).
