Captopril 12.5mg Tablets are an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart conditions. This medication works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and reducing the workload on the heart. It is also used to improve survival after a heart attack and to treat kidney problems caused by diabetes. Captopril tablets are indicated for patients with hypertension, heart failure, and kidney complications caused by type 1 diabetes.
However, they are contraindicated in patients with a history of angioedema related to previous treatment with ACE inhibitors, as well as in patients with severe kidney disease and those who are pregnant.
It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor and to inform them of any other medications or supplements you are currently taking.
