E-DRUG: 14th Model List of Essential Drugs (2)
---------------------------------------------

  Hi
   I am a Swedish GP who worked with Essential Drugs ('Medicamentos Essenciais') in Angola a long time ago in the 80´s. Today I work as an "academic detailer" with pharmacotherapeutical issues among my GP collegues in my county.
   
I checked the new 14th Model List and have not gone through it very much in detail but still found some things that puzzled me:

   Enalapril for hypertension we most often recommend in dose of 10 or 20 mg. Does the list only recommend tablets of 2,5 mg? 8 tablets per day?
