Cooperation.

Possible increases gipotenzivny effect of anaesthetics. Reduces the secondary hyperaldosteronism and hypokalemia, caused by diuretics. Increases concentration of lithium and digoxin in plasma. Effects increase gipotenzivee funds other, including beta-blockers, incl. When systemic vsasavanii ophthalmic dosage forms of, diuretics, klonidin, narcotic analgesics, antipsychotics, alcohol, weaken - estrogens, NSAIDs, sympathomimetic, antacids (reduce the bioavailability of 45%). Potassium-sparing diuretics, cyclosporine, kalisodergaszczye medicines and supplements, salt substitutes, milk with a low salt content increase the risk of hyperkalemia. Preparations, depressing the bone marrow (immunosuppressants, cytostatics and/or allopurinol), increase the risk of neutropenia and / or fatal agranulocytosis. Dampening effect of alcohol on the central nervous system. Probenecid slows excretion of captopril in the urine.

Overdose.

Symptoms: severe hypotension, cerebrovascular accident, myocardial infarction, thromboembolism, angioedema.

Treatment: dose reduction or complete removal of the drug; gastric lavage, Transfer the patient to a horizontal position, introduce measures to increase BCC (isotonic sodium chloride solution, transfusions, etc.. blood liquids), simptomaticheskaya therapy: epinephrine (n / a or I /), antihistamines, gidrokortizon (I /). A kidney dialysis, If necessary, the use of artificial pacemaker.

Dosing and Administration.

Inside, for 1 hour before meals. When hypertension: the initial dose - 12,5 mg 2 once a day, the single dose increase to 50 mg 3 times a day at intervals of 2-4 weeks; maintenance dose 25 mg 2-3 times a day; The maximum daily dose - 150 mg. When it renovskularna hypertension and renal: the initial dose - 6,25 mg 3 once a day, supporting — 25 mg 3 once a day. In chronic heart failure, in postinfarctne period: initial dose is on 6,25 mg 3 times per day with a subsequent increase in (every 2-3 weeks) until maintenance dose 25 mg 2-3 times a day or to 50 mg 3 once a day (in postinfarctne period). The maximum daily dose - 150 mg. If the kidney function: the initial dose 6,25 mg 2-3 times a day with a consequent increase in, the maximum dose depends on creatinine clearance: When clearance 35-130 ml/min/1.73 m² - 150 mg, 20-35 mL/min/1.73 m² - 75 mg, less 20 mL/min/1.73 m² - 37,5 mg.

Precautions.

Treatment is carried out under regular medical supervision. Before treatment (for 1 Sun) prior to antihypertensive therapy should be abolished. In patients with malignant hypertension over every 24 h gradually increase the dose to achieve maximum effect under the supervision of ad. During treatment requires monitoring of blood pressure, peripheral blood (before treatment, in the first 3-6 months of treatment and at periodic intervals thereafter until 1 year, especially in patients with an increased risk of neutropenia), protein levels, Plasma potassium, BUN, creatinine, renal function, body weight, diet. In developing giponatriemii, Dehydration is a correction mode (dose reduction). Maculopapular or urticaria (less often) rash occurs during the first 4 weeks of treatment, disappears at the same time reducing the dose, the preparation and introduction of antigistaminnah funds. Dose-related neutropenia develops over 3 months after initiation of therapy (the maximum decrease in the number of cells is observed within 10-30 days and is about 2 weeks after discontinuation of the drug). Cough (most commonly seen in women) often appears in the first week (from 24 h to several months) therapy, persists during treatment and ends a few days after the end of therapy. Taste and lowering body weight reversible and recovered through 2-3 months of therapy. Care should be taken during surgical interventions (including dental), especially when used general anesthetics, hypotensive effect. With the development of cholestatic jaundice and progression of fulminant hepatic necrosis treatment should be discontinued. It is necessary to avoid dialysis through high-performance membrane of poliakrilonitritmetallilsul'fata (eg, АN69), gemofilytratsii or LDL apheresis (may develop anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reactions). Hyposensitization therapy can increase the risk of anaphylactic reactions. It is recommended that the use of alcohol during treatment. Be wary of during the drivers of vehicles and people, skills relate to the high concentration of attention.

Cautions.

In case of skipping the dose of subsequent dose double. When conducting a test on acetonuriju possible positive result.
