Summary: On this podcast episode, I discuss captopril pharmacology, kinetics, interactions, and much more!<br> <br> <br> <br> Captopril is an ACE Inhibitor. It can cause hyperkalemia, cough, and renal impairment. <br> <br> <br> <br> One of the notable issues with captopril is its relatively short half-life which requires it to be dose frequently throughout the day. <br> <br> <br> <br> Lithium is an important drug interaction and the use of captopril with this medication may increase concentrations and the chance for toxicity.
