Problems with increased pressure , unfortunately, are not so rare. Most often, the pressure exacerbates the elderly and middle-aged people, but sometimes young people also have to flee from the ailment. Kapoten and its analogs will help to cope with attacks of hypertension and contribute to their prevention in the future.
Why do we need Kapoten?
This medication has established itself as an excellent ACE inhibitor. Thanks to Kapoten, the formation of the substance of angiotensin II, which has a vasoconstrictive effect, is arrested. And due to this, accordingly, the pressure normalizes.
The main active substance in Kapoten is captopril. In pharmacies today you can find tablets containing 25 or 50 milligrams of this substance. Dosage is selected depending on the problem and the general health of the patient. And it should only be done by a specialist.
The Kapoten boasts a lot of advantages:
- The drug greatly contributes to reducing the death rate from diseases of the cardiovascular system.
- The drugs work very effectively and at the same time rather accurately. Hood and generic drugs do not affect the nervous system. And men can take medication without experiencing a decrease in potency.
- Both Kapoten and its analogs favorably influence the health of the kidneys, slowing down the destructive processes in them. Often, the remedy is prescribed even with diabetic nephropathy.
- A huge plus Kapotena and most of its analogs - accessibility.
How can I replace Kapoten?

Quite often patients ask in pharmacies Kapoten or Anaprilin, considering the latter a generic. This is not entirely true. Indeed, drugs produce a similar effect - reduce blood pressure. And yet, the Kapoten is considered more narrow-minded, while Anaprilin is also recommended in cases where high blood pressure is accompanied by severe tachycardia or tremor, with ischemia of the heart, a heart attack and even migraine attacks.
The most popular analogue of Kapoten is Captopril. These drugs are similar not only to the effect, but also to the main active substance. Simply put, they differ only by the manufacturer. But as practice has shown, it also happens that patients who do not fit Kapoten, Captopril helps one hundred percent.
