Capoten (captopril)

Indications

• Capoten tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
• It is also used for the management of heart failure, to improve survival after a heart attack, and to treat diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease in diabetic patients).

• Do not discontinue Capoten suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen your condition.

Mechanism of Action

Capoten contains Captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It works by blocking the formation of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels. This relaxation of blood vessels helps to lower blood pressure, reduce the workload on the heart, and improve blood flow.

• Avoid Capoten if you have a history of angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat) related to previous ACE inhibitor therapy.
