Captopril 1 mg/ml Oral Solution is a liquid formulation of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. This medication is primarily used in the treatment of conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and myocardial infarction.

In certain high blood pressure patients with an enlarged heart, Captopril may also be employed to lower the risk of stroke.

Patients with diabetes should exercise caution when using Captopril, as it may lead to a decrease in blood sugar levels. It is recommended that these patients closely monitor their blood sugar levels and report any significant changes to their healthcare provider. Similarly, Captopril may increase the risk of kidney complications in patients with chronic kidney disease. Such patients should be monitored for changes in kidney function and should report any changes to their healthcare provider.

For patients with a history of heart attack, Captopril may increase the risk of myocardial infarction. These patients should be monitored for changes in heart function and should report any changes to their healthcare provider. Furthermore, Captopril may interact with other medications, including diuretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and potassium supplements. It is crucial that patients inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking before starting Captopril.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
