How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (captopril). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

The mechanism of action of captopril tablets have not yet been fully elucidated.

Its beneficial effects in hypertension and heart failure appear to result primarily from suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

How it leaves the body

In a 24-hour period, over 95 percent of the absorbed dose is eliminated in the urine; 40 to 50 percent is unchanged drug; most of the remainder is the disulfide dimer of captopril and captopril-cysteine disulfide.

With food

The presence of food in the gastrointestinal tract reduces absorption by about 30 to 40 percent; captopril therefore should be given one hour before meals.
