Management of hypertension where a further reduction in blood pressure
is required following the use of 20 mg enalapril.
Management of hypertension in patients who have been stabilised on the
individual components.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For oral administration.
The dosage of ‘Innozide’ should be determined primarily by the
experience with the enalapril maleate component.
The maximum recommended daily dose is two tablets.
_Adults_
_Essential hypertension_
The dosage is one tablet, taken once daily. If necessary, the dosage
may be increased by a small increment of either
constituent.
_Dosage in renal insufficiency_
Thiazides may not be appropriate diuretics for use in patients with
renal impairment and are ineffective at creatinine clearance
values of 30 ml/min or below (i.e. moderate or severe renal
insufficiency).
In patients with creatinine clearance of >30 and <80 ml/min,
‘Innozide’ should be used only after titration of the individual
components.

and hydrochlorothiazide, administered concomitantly, were
