Capoten (active ingredient: captopril) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Capoten is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
  2. Heart Failure: It is indicated for the treatment of congestive heart failure, improving symptoms and increasing survival.
  3. Left Ventricular Dysfunction: Capoten is used to improve survival and reduce the risk of heart attack and heart failure-related hospitalizations in patients with asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction.

Capoten belongs to a class of drugs known as ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors), which work by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart, as well as by improving the function of the heart muscle.

To use Capoten (captopril) tablets, take them by mouth on an empty stomach, at least one hour before meals, as directed by your doctor. The usual dosing pattern for Capoten is two to three times per day. Use the tablet regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and do not change the dose without consulting them.

To use Capoten (captopril) tablets, the recommended dose varies depending on the condition being treated.

  • For high blood pressure, the dose can range from 25 mg to 150 mg taken orally, two or three times a day on an empty stomach. Your doctor may need to adjust the dose based on your response to the medication.
  • For heart failure and heart failure after a heart attack, the typical dose is 50 mg to 100 mg taken orally, three times a day on an empty stomach.
  • For kidney disease related to diabetes, the typical dose is 25 mg taken orally, three times a day on an empty stomach.

The maximum recommended daily dose of Capoten is 450 mg, regardless of the condition being treated.

Do I have to take captopril on an empty stomach?

Food makes it harder for your body to absorb captopril, so it wouldn’t work as well if you took the medication with food. Try to take your medication 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals to help the captopril to work the best it can in your body.

How long does it take captopril to work?

Captopril starts to kick in within 15 minutes, but it can take 60 to 90 minutes for the medication to be fully absorbed by the body. It takes about a week of taking captopril for it to fully kick in and lower your blood pressure.

How is Capoten taken?

Capoten is usually taken orally 1 to 2 times per day, or as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and not to change your dose without consulting your healthcare provider.

Can Capoten be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Capoten is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of using Capoten with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
