Enacodan (Enalapril Maleate)

Enacodan is a pharmaceutical product primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. The active ingredient is Enalapril Maleate, which belongs to a class of medications known as ACE inhibitors. It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.

The brand is part of the portfolio of pharmacological products by DAK (Danske Apotekeres Kontrol-laboratorium), a historic Danish brand that transitioned into a generic drug specialist. Today, it is part of the Takeda pharmaceutical group, a global industry leader based in Japan. Production typically occurs within Takeda's extensive manufacturing network, with heavy historical and operational ties to facilities in Denmark for the Nordics market.
