Product Details
Capocard 50 mg Tablets contain captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used for the treatment of several cardiovascular conditions. Each tablet contains 50 mg of captopril and is intended for oral administration. Captopril reduces the formation of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to constrict. This action helps relax and widen blood vessels, resulting in lower blood pressure and a reduced workload on the heart. Capocard is indicated for essential hypertension and chronic heart failure. It may also be used in clinically stable patients following myocardial infarction and in selected patients with type 1 diabetic nephropathy associated with significant proteinuria. Treatment must be individualized according to the patient's condition, blood pressure response, kidney function, and concomitant medications. For hypertension, treatment may start with a total daily dose of 25–50 mg divided into two doses and can be gradually adjusted when necessary, up to a maximum recommended daily dose of 150 mg. Capocard is a prescription medicine and should only be used according to medical instructions. Monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels may be required during treatment.
