Why is Capoten prescribed? 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. Capoten is in a family of drugs known
as "ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) 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. In addition, Capoten is used to
improve survival in certain people who have suffered heart attacks and to treat
kidney disease in diabetics. Some doctors also prescribe Capoten for angina
pectoris (crushing chest pain), Raynaud's phenomenon (a disorder of the blood
vessels that causes the fingers to turn white when exposed to cold), and
rheumatoid arthritis.
Capoten may also be used for purposes other than those
listed in this medication guide.
Please consult your physician before taking any medication.
