When pregnancy is detected, discontinue captopril as soon as possible. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus.

Overview

Sandbox Captopril tablet is an Angiontensin converting enzyme inhibitor that is FDA approved for the {{{indicationType}}} of hypertension, heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction, diabetic nephropathy. There is a Black Box Warning for this drug as shown here. Common adverse reactions include hypotension, rash, hyperkalemia, disorder of taste, cough.

Adult Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)

Hypertension
  • Dosing Information
  • Initial dose: Captopril 25 mg PO bid or Captopril 25 mg PO tid; may be increased after 1 to 2 weeks to Captopril 50 mg PO bid or Captopril 50 mg PO tid, then to Captopril 100 to 150 mg PO bid/tid (in combination with a thiazide diuretic) if needed (MAX 450 mg daily)

Captopril tablets, USP are indicated for the treatment of hypertension.

In using captopril, consideration should be given to the risk of neutropenia/agranulocytosis.

Captopril may be used as initial therapy for patients with normal renal function, in whom the risk is relatively low. In patients with impaired renal function, particularly those with collagen vascular disease, captopril should be reserved for hypertensives who have either developed unacceptable side effects on other drugs, or have failed to respond satisfactorily to drug combinations.

Captopril is effective alone and in combination with other antihypertensive agents, especially thiazide-type diuretics. The blood pressure lowering effects of captopril and thiazides are approximately additive.

Heart Failure
  • Dosing Information
  • Initial dose: (patients with normal or low blood pressure, vigorous diuretic therapy, volume depletion) Captopril 6.25 to 12.5 mg PO tid
  • Initial dose: Captopril PO 25 mg tid
  • Maintenance dose: Captopril 50 to 100 mg PO tid (MAX 450 mg PO daily)

Captopril tablets, USP are indicated in the treatment of congestive heart failure usually in combination with diuretics and digitalis. The beneficial effect of captopril in heart failure does not require the presence of digitalis, however, most controlled clinical trial experience with captopril has been in patients receiving digitalis, as well as diuretic treatment.

Left Ventricular Dysfunction After Myocardial Infarction
  • Dosing Information
  • Initial dose: Captopril 6.25 mg PO for one dose starting as early as 3 days after myocardial infarction,
  • Maintenance dose: Captopril 12.5 mg tid a day increased to 25 mg PO tid a day in several days; target dose 50 mg PO tid over the next several weeks as tolerated

Captopril tablets, USP are indicated to improve survival following myocardial infarction in clinically stable patients with left ventricular dysfunction manifested as an ejection fraction ≤40% and to reduce the incidence of overt heart failure and subsequent hospitalizations for congestive heart failure in these patients.

Diabetic Nephropathy
  • Dosing Information
  • (type 1 diabetes mellitus) Captopril 25 mg PO tid
  • (type 2 diabetes mellitus) Captopril 12.5 mg bid, increased to Captopril 12.5 mg tid after 3 months

Captopril tablets, USP are indicated for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (proteinuria >500 mg/day) in patients with type I insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and retinopathy. Captopril decreases the rate of progression of renal insufficiency and development of serious adverse clinical outcomes (death or need for renal transplantation or dialysis).

In considering use of captopril, it should be noted that in controlled trials ACE inhibitors have an effect on blood pressure that is less in black patients than in non-blacks. In addition, ACE inhibitors (for which adequate data are available) cause a higher rate of angioedema in black than in non-black patients.
