Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to offer a compounded formulation of Captopril 5 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet). This medication is designed to treat a variety of disease states, including hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and renal artery stenosis. Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that functions by inhibiting the production of a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. This action allows blood to flow more freely, thereby reducing blood pressure.

Our Captopril 5 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) formulation is also beneficial in the treatment of congestive heart failure. It works by decreasing the heart's workload and enhancing its ability to pump blood. For patients with chronic kidney disease, Captopril can help lower the risk of kidney failure and slow the progression of the disease. In diabetic patients, Captopril can help mitigate the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease.

Furthermore, Captopril can be used to treat renal artery stenosis, a condition characterized by the narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys. It achieves this by reducing the pressure in the arteries and improving blood flow to the kidneys. Our Captopril 5 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) formulation is a liquid dosage form in which one or more ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout a liquid medium, providing a homogeneous mixture for administration. This ensures that each dose is consistent and effective.

It is crucial to remember that Captopril should be taken as prescribed, and patients should not discontinue its use without consulting their healthcare provider. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your condition, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to provide the necessary support and guidance to ensure the best possible outcome for your health.
