Acetab 50mg Tab 20s

Acetab contains the active ingredient Captopril which belongs to a group of medicines called Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. ACE inhibitors work by helping to widen your blood vessels, which then make it easier for your heart to pump blood through them. Acetab is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), congestive heart failure, kidney problems caused by diabetes, and to improve survival after a heart attack.

Usage directions : Always take this medicine exactly how your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Swallow the tablets orally with a glass of water.

Caution : Before surgery and anesthesia (even at the dentist) you should tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking Captopril as there may be a sudden fall in your blood pressure. Captopril can affect your ability to drive, usually when you first start taking your medicine or if your doctor changes your dose. If you do feel light-headed or dizzy when taking Captopril tablets, you should not drive or use machinery.
