Tracey Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) I had our vet's office call in a refill for Chase's heart meds and picked them up last night. I got it from Costco instead of Stop and Shop where we previously have done and I noticed when I got home that the bottle read enalapril maleate. In the past, the bottles just said enalapril. Can anyone (umm, Dee!) tell me if these are the same thing before I give Chase any? Not sure if I can reach my vet to ask this weekend. Thanks!

Guest FullMetalFrank Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Do a google search on enalapril; I just did one, and it gives enalapril maleate as the generic equivalent; so, yeah, it's the same thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Sorry for the late post. Yes, they are the same thing. Curfew's come from Rite Aid Pharmacy, and yes, they say Enalapril Maleate. How is Chase doing these days? Many hugs! Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
