Silvergate Pharmaceuticals has launche Epaned (enalapril maleate Powder for Oral Solution) to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in people older than one month. Enalapril is one of the most commonly prescribed medicines in the U.S. to treat high blood pressure.

Approved by the FDA in August 2013, Epaned is specially formulated as a flavored liquid solution to appeal to children and people who have difficulty swallowing enalapril tablets. Epaned is a powder form of enalapril that a pharmacist will use to make an oral solution so that children will not have to rely on adult tablets being made into a suspension. Approximately half of the prescription drugs commonly given to children do not have information on appropriate pediatric doses on their labels.
