What is Captopril?
Uses of Captopril
Captopril is primarily prescribed alone or in combination with other drugs to treat high blood pressure and heart failure.
How does it work?
Captopril medication is commonly available as Capoten in the market. This drug blocks the conversion of angiotensin II from angiotensin I and indirectly helps increase sodium retention from the kidneys. The combined effect reduces blood pressure by dilating the blood vessels and eventually reducing the workload on the heart.
What are the different strengths and dosages?
Capoten dosage will depend on the condition of the patient.
It is available as:
- 25 mg and 50 mg tablets.
How to take it?
Captopril comes as a tablet and is usually taken two or three times a day by mouth on an empty stomach, 1 hour before a meal.
Sticking to the prescribed dose is essential to avoid any adverse effects.
