Yes, there is a generic called enalapril maleate. You will need to get it from your vet. Just ask them and they can either order it for you, write you a prescription or call it in to a pharmacy for you. It should be much more cost effective. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=535 Hope this helps. Best wishes.
