What exactly is "enalaprit"?  Is it -

  • just a typo
  • another name for enalaprilat
  • another name for enalapril, or
  • another prodrug or ACE inhibitor entirely?

Under the heading "Dosage", sub-heading "Clients with impaired renal function.", the page on "Enalapril maleate" contains the sentence "Give enalaprit, 1.25 mg q 6 hr for clients with a C<sub>CR</sub> more than 30 mL/min and an initial dose of 0.625 mg for clients with a C<sub>CR</sub> less than 30 mL/min."
