The FDA has approved Epaned (enalapril maleate Powder for Oral Solution), from Silvergate Pharmaceuticals, to treat Hypertension (high blood pressure) in people one month and older. It is an oral solution formulation that enables accurate dosing and has a taste that appeals to children, which may help to ensure compliance. People who have trouble swallowing enalapril tablets may also benefit from Epaned. Enalapril is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the United States to treat high blood pressure.
