How it works:
Capoten Tablet belongs to the class of drugs called ACE Inhibitors. It is used to treat heart failure, hypertension and kidney disease caused by diabetes known as diabetic nephropathy. This drug is also used after a heart attack to improve patient survival.
It works by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme (angiotensin-converting enzyme) which is responsible for the constriction of blood vessels. By causing relaxation of the blood vessels, It lowers the blood pressure and causes blood to flow more easily through the vessels.
