==Specific Population==
 
====Pregnancy====
 
Pregnancy Categories C (first trimester) and D (second and third trimesters) (see WARNINGS, Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality).
 
====Nursing Mothers====
 
Enalapril and enalaprilat have been detected in human breast milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from enalapril, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue VASOTEC, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
 
====Pediatric Use====
 
Antihypertensive effects of VASOTEC have been established in hypertensive pediatric patients age 1 month to 16 years. Use of VASOTEC in these age groups is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of VASOTEC in pediatric and adult patients as well as by published literature in pediatric patients (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Pharmacology in Pediatric Patients and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
 
VASOTEC is not recommended in neonates and in pediatric patients with [[glomerular filtration rate]] <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, as no data are available.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = VASOTEC (ENALAPRIL MALEATE) TABLET VASOTEC (ENALAPRIL MALEATE) TABLET [BTA PHARMACEUTICALS INC.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=5d181743-a0fc-4d17-953d-b17a936f9ecc | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = }}</ref>
