Capoten (Captopril)

Usage and Class

Used in patients with high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, Capoten refers to a group of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It can be also prescribed in case of kidney problems related to diabetes. Capoten is helpful for recovery after a heart attack.

Possible Side Effects

Capoten is not for you in case you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during the treatment. ACE inhibitors can cause birth defects in the developing fetus when taken during pregnancy. If taking Capoten, a woman should consider the right type of birth control. If you detect pregnancy, stop taking Capoten immediately and turn to a healthcare professional for more information.

Please be warned that alcohol may additionally lower the blood pressure while aggravating certain side effects of Capoten. Potassium supplements as well as salt substitutes should be avoided by patients treated with the medicine (except for those recommended by a healthcare professional).

You should always have enough water with you to avoid dehydration. Heavy sweating during exercise, diarrhea, or retching can result in a sudden drop of blood pressure when taking Capoten.
