Captopril Pharmacology Podcast – Episode 314

On this podcast episode, I discuss captopril pharmacology, kinetics, interactions, and much more!

Captopril is an ACE Inhibitor. It can cause hyperkalemia, cough, and renal impairment.

One of the notable issues with captopril is its relatively short half-life which requires it to be dose frequently throughout the day.

Lithium is an important drug interaction and the use of captopril with this medication may increase concentrations and the chance for toxicity.

Enalapril Pharmacology Podcast

On this episode, I discuss enalapril pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions, and much more!

Enalapril has a shorter half-life compared to some of the other ACE inhibitors so it may need to be dosed twice daily in patients with adequate renal function.

Hyperkalemia, cough, renal impairment, and angioedema and four adverse effects associated with enalapril that you should monitor for.

NSAIDs and diuretics can increase the risk of acute renal failure when an ACE inhibitor like enalapril is being used.

Fosinopril (Monopril) Pharmacology Podcast

On this podcast episode, I discuss fosinopril (Monopril) pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions and much more.

Fosinopril is an ACE inhibitor so it should absolutely NOT be used in pregnancy as it poses fetus risks.

Like other ACE inhibitors, hyperkalemia, cough, angioedema, and acute renal failure represent possible risks in using fosinopril.

Drugs that can raise potassium when used in combo with fosinopril include spironolactone, trimethoprim, calcineurin inhibitors, and heparin.
