Captopril: A Medication for High Blood Pressure, Heart Conditions, and Kidney Disease

4. Diabetic Nephropathy:

• 25 mg orally three times a day.
• Other antihypertensive medications may be used in conjunction if additional blood pressure reduction is required.

5. Hypertensive Emergency:

• 25 mg orally 2 to 3 times a day, with adjustments made based on blood pressure response.

Remember to take captopril exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Continue using the medication even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Store captopril tightly closed at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.

Please note that this information is not exhaustive, and it is crucial to consult your healthcare provider or refer to the medication’s package insert for complete and accurate guidance on captopril usage.

Missed Dose of Captopril:

If you forget to take a dose of captopril, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Avoid taking two doses at the same time to make up for the missed one.
