Buy Capozide

Capozide (Captopril/Hydrochlorothiazide) is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: captopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Captopril blocks the enzyme that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Captopril helps relax blood vessels by preventing this conversion and lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide, on the other hand, reduces blood pressure by increasing sodium and water excretion through the kidneys, decreasing blood volume. Together, these active ingredients help control blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications such as stroke and heart attack.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Capozide is both safe and effective in managing hypertension, particularly in patients who require combination therapy to achieve target blood pressure levels. The combination of captopril and hydrochlorothiazide has been shown to significantly lower blood pressure compared to monotherapy, with a safety profile consistent with the known side effects of each component (source).
