Details
Generic Capoten
Generic Name: Captopril
Strips of 10 x 25 mg
Use
Generic Capoten is used in the treatment of high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. When prescribed for high blood pressure, it is effective used alone or combined with diuretics. If it is prescribed for congestive heart failure, it is used in combination with digitalis and diuretics. Generic Capoten is in a family of drugs known as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by preventing a chemical in your blood called angiotensin I from converting into a more potent form that increases salt and water retention in your body. Capoten also enhances blood flow throughout your blood vessels.
Dosage
Generic Capoten should be taken 1 hour before meals. If you are taking an antacid such as Mylanta, take it 2 hours prior to Generic Capoten. Take this medication exactly as prescribed. Stopping Generic Capoten suddenly could cause your blood pressure to increase.
Side effects
More common side effects may include itching, loss of taste, low blood pressure, and rash. Less common or rare side effects may include abdominal pain, anemia, angina pectoris (severe chest pain), blisters, blurred vision, breast development in males, cardiac arrest, changes in heart rhythm, chest pain, confusion, constipation, cough, depression, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, dizziness, dry mouth, fatigue, fever and chills, flushing, general feeling of ill health, hair loss, headache, heart attack, heart failure, impotence, inability to sleep, indigestion, inflammation of the nose, inflammation of the tongue, labored breathing, lack of coordination, loss of appetite, lung inflammation, muscle pain and/or weakness, nausea, nervousness, pallor, palpitations, peptic ulcer, rapid heartbeat, sensitivity to light, skin inflammation, skin peeling, sleepiness, sore throat, stomach irritation, stroke, sudden fainting or loss of strength, swelling of face, lips, tongue, throat, or arms and legs, tingling or pins and needles, vomiting, weakness, wheezing, yellow eyes and skin.
Precautions
If you are receiving bee or wasp venom to prevent an allergic reaction to stings, use of Generic Capoten at the same time may cause a severe allergic reaction. If you have kidney disease, Capoten should be used only if you have taken other blood pressure medications and your doctor has determined that the results were unsatisfactory. Some people taking Generic Capoten have had a severe allergic reaction during kidney dialysis. If you are taking Generic Capoten for your heart, be careful not to increase physical activity too quickly. Check with your doctor as to how much exercise is safe for you. If you are taking Generic Capoten for congestive heart failure, your blood pressure may drop temporarily after the first few doses and you may feel light-headed for a time. Your doctor should monitor you closely when you start taking the medication or when your dosage is increased. If you are taking high doses of diuretics and Generic Capoten, you may develop excessively low blood pressure. Your doctor may reduce your diuretic dose so that your blood pressure doesn't drop too far. If you notice a yellow coloring to your skin or the whites of your eyes, stop taking the drug and notify your doctor immediately. You could be developing a liver problem. Generic Capoten may cause you to become drowsy or less alert, especially if you are also taking a diuretic at the same time.
Dehydration may cause a drop in blood pressure. If you experience symptoms such as excessive perspiration, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, notify your doctor immediately.
