All reports from the United Kingdom of suspected adverse reactions to captopril and enalapril received by the Committee on Safety of Medicines from the dates they were first sold (May 1981 and January 1985, respectively) up to January 1986 were examined. Enalapril-Thirteen patients developed angio-oedema (table); one also developed urticaria. The reaction occurred after the first dose in six patients and within five days in the remainder. No formal rechallenge tests were described though the reaction occurred acutely after each oftwo doses taken by one patient. Angio-oedema resolved within one to two days after the drug was stopped in 12 patients; two patients were treated with steroids. Urticaria alone was reported in seven patients (four men) aged 46-80 (mean 59) after daily doses of 5-20 mg. Four patients had hypertension, and three with heart failure received concomitant diuretic treatment. The reaction occurred after the first dose in one patient, within four days in three, and within 10, 14, and 16 days in the remainder. Drug withdrawal resulted in the resolution of signs in all patients within one to seven days. Captopril-Six patients developed angio-oedema (table); three also developed urticaria. The reaction occurred two to 28 days after treatment started and resolved within one to four days after drug withdrawal in four patients. The outcome in the two other patients was unknown. Urticaria alone was reported in 17 patients (14 women) aged 53-78 (mean 64). Fifteen were being treated for hypertension and two for heart failure, with daily doses of 25-150 mg. The reaction occurred one hour after the first dose in one, after three days in two, and after 8-60 (mean 31) days in the remaining patients. The signs resolved within six days after drug withdrawal in 16 patients but persisted for two to four weeks after treatment was stopped in two others. A positive result ofrechallenge was reported for two patients. Comment
