It is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor
A misspelling of "captopril". Captopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.
The captopril test is a screening test for hypertension of kidney origin (renovascular hypertension ).

Captopril
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."
Captopril is classified as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and kidney problems.
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.
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.
Examples of drugs that are known to cause dysgeusia include lithium, penicillamine, procarbazine, rifampin, vinblastine, vincristine, captopril, griseofulvin, and thyroid medications.
Cough; diarrhea; dizziness or lightheadedness when sitting or standing quickly; fatigue; fever; headache; itching; joint pain; nausea; taste changes; vomiting; weakness.
I could not find information on "capotein". If you mean Capoten, the blood pressure medication also known as captopril, then the answer is, "No". It is nto safe in pregnancy and so if you think you might be pregnant you should stop it and contact your doctor immediately.
ACE inhibitors reduce blood pressure by causing less aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone to be released, resulting in more water output and a lowering of the blood volume, which lowers the blood pressure.
