Capotiazide (Captopril) Tablets
Ingredients:
Each tablet contains captopril as the active ingredient.
Mechanism of Action:
Captopril acts as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, leading to vasodilation and reduced aldosterone secretion, ultimately resulting in decreased blood pressure levels.
Pharmacological Properties:
The pharmacological properties of captopril include its ability to inhibit ACE, thereby modulating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and promoting vasodilation.

Benefits Compared to Analogues:
Capotiazide tablets offer effective blood pressure control with a well-established safety profile compared to other ACE inhibitors.
