What's happening
Enalapril is currently affected by an active shortage report filed with Health Canada by ORGANON CANADA INC..
The reported cause is: delay in shipping 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).
