  • When the heart cannot pump blood effectively for the body’s needs (symptomatic heart failure).
  • When the left ventricle of the heart is not functioning properly, but there are no symptoms of heart failure, to decrease the rate of development of overt heart failure and reduce hospitalization for heart failure.

  • When pregnancy is detected, discontinue EPANED as soon as possible.
  • Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus.
