  • I have been diagnosed with heart failure and the doctor has prescribed me Cardiopril 10 Capsule. Why?

    Cardiopril 10 Capsule belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor group of drugs. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to pass through the vessels. As a result of this, the heart does not have to work more to push the blood. Since the workload on the heart is reduced, it is beneficial in heart failure. Additionally, it is also used to lower blood pressure and prevent stroke.

  • Can Cardiopril 10 Capsule increase potassium levels? If yes, what should be done?

    Cardiopril 10 Capsule may increase potassium levels in the blood, especially if you have uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, kidney problems, and dehydration.
