What is captoril?
A misspelling of "captopril". Captopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.
What is a captopril test?

What is another name for Capoten?
Captopril
What is administered in a renal scan with captopril?
In a renal scan with captopril, the patient is administered a small amount of captopril, which is a medication that helps to detect narrowing of the renal arteries. The scan is used to evaluate kidney function and assess for potential renovascular hypertension.
"I couldn't find this on the Captopril package insert, but what is it used to treat"?
The Captopril package insert lists hypertension as the main use for the drug. "Captopril is most commonly used to treat hypertension, but also has been used for other heart conditions such as congestive heart failure."
What is the classification for captopril?
Captopril is classified as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and kidney problems.
What is the chiral center of captopril?
The chiral center of captopril is the sulfur atom (S). It is a chiral compound with one chiral center due to the presence of the sulfur atom in a tetrahedral environment with four different substituents.
Does Captopril causes hypokalemia or hyperkalemia?
Hyperkalemia. Captopril is an ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitor which has various actions on the cardiovascular and renal systems. One of these actions in inhibition of the formation of Angiotensin II and aldosterone. Aldosterone acts to increase sodium (and water) reabsoprtion in the collecting duct of the nephron. In this process potassium is excreted. If aldosterone release is inhibited by Captopril then sodium reabsorption is decreased and potassium remains in the blood, leading to hyperkalemia.
Analysis of captopril by uv spectroscopy?
actually captopril is a PH sensative drug, as per IP-in 0.1N HCL it's showing 212nm, and it's very difficult to find out lambda by UV-spectroscopy because the UV visible range of UV- is 200-400nm, and generally near to 200nm all lambda consider as solvent pick....so UV-spectoscopy is not perfact one for analysis purpose of captopril.
Why captopril is uses as a prodrug?
Captopril is not used as a prodrug. It is an active drug itself, classified as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat hypertension and heart failure by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
What drugs may cause dysgeusia?
Examples of drugs that are known to cause dysgeusia include lithium, penicillamine, procarbazine, rifampin, vinblastine, vincristine, captopril, griseofulvin, and thyroid medications.
