If you are pregnant, you should not use the blood pressure drug enalaprilat, because it may cause serious injury or be fatal to a developing fetus. It is particularly dangerous during the second and third trimesters.

If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, talk to your doctor before taking enalaprilat. If you are taking enalaprilat and become pregnant, call your doctor right away.
