CAPOZIDE 50/25 vs ENALAPRILAT
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that inhibits the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter in the distal convoluted tubule, increasing excretion of sodium and water.
Enalaprilat is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion, leading to decreased blood pressure and cardiac workload.
One tablet (captopril 50 mg / hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) orally once daily; may increase to two tablets daily if needed.
1.25 mg IV over 5 minutes every 6 hours; may increase to 5 mg IV every 6 hours if needed.

Clinical Note
moderateEnalaprilat + Benzydamine
"The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Enalaprilat is combined with Benzydamine."
Clinical Note
moderateEnalaprilat + Estrone sulfate
"The serum concentration of Estrone sulfate can be decreased when it is combined with Enalaprilat."
Clinical Note
moderateEnalaprilat + Droxicam
"The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Enalaprilat is combined with Droxicam."
Clinical Note
moderateEnalaprilat + Loxoprofen
Captopril: ~2 hours (increased in renal impairment). Hydrochlorothiazide: 6-15 hours (prolonged in renal impairment). Clinical context: dosing interval typically 12-24 hours.
Terminal half-life: 35 hours (prolonged in renal impairment; accumulates with CrCl <30 mL/min)
Captopril: 95% renal (primarily unchanged). Hydrochlorothiazide: 95% renal (unchanged).
Renal: 60-80% unchanged; biliary/fecal: minimal (<10%)
