Pharmacological action

A competitive inhibitor of ACE - an enzyme that promotes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

Kapoten has an antihypertensive effect, reduces OPSS (afterload), preload and resistance in the pulmonary vessels increases cardiac output and exercise tolerance.

With prolonged use, it reduces the severity of left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy, prevents the progression of heart failure and slows down the development of left ventricular dilatation.

Indications

- arterial hypertension (as monotherapy and in combination with other antihypertensive drugs, for example, with thiazide diuretics)

- chronic heart failure (as part of combination therapy)

- coronary heart disease (left ventricular myocardial infarction in patients with post-infarction in a stable clinical condition)

- diabetic nephropathy (microalbuminuria> 30 mg / day) with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Contraindications

- Quincke's edema (hereditary or associated with the use of ACE inhibitors in history)

- severe impaired renal function

- severe hepatic impairment

- hyperkalemia

- bilateral stenosis of the arterial arterial arteries or after

kidney transplantation - stenosis of the aortic orifice and similar obstructive changes, obstructing the outflow of blood from the left ventricle

- pregnancy

- lactation (breastfeeding)

- hypersensitivity to the drug and other ACE inhibitors.

Special instructions

Caoten should be prescribed with caution in case of collagenosis due to the increased risk of neutropenia and agranulocytosis.

When prescribing the drug to patients with severe impaired water-electrolyte balance, this condition should be corrected. During treatment with Kapoten, it is not recommended to take potassium-sparing diuretics or potassium preparations, especially for patients with severe renal impairment.

Angioneurotic edema of limbs, face, lips, mucous membranes, tongue, pharynx or larynx is observed in patients with the use of ACE inhibitors, including captopril. If swelling is limited to the face and lips, this condition usually disappears after discontinuation of the drug. Antihistamines may be used to alleviate clinical symptoms. Patients should be monitored by a doctor until symptoms disappear. If the swelling covers the tongue, pharynx or larynx with a threat of airway obstruction, s / c 0.5 ml of 0.1% adrenaline solution should be administered.
