Research Notes on Captopril Side Effects
As with all medications, there is a risk of unwanted side effects while taking captopril (Capoten). The most commonly reported side effects are rash, changes in taste, and coughing. Side effects that require medical attention include swelling of the head or neck, wheezing, dizziness, abdominal pain, fever, or a decrease in urine production.1
Fast Facts:
- Blurred vision is a common side effect of captopril that may subside as your body adjusts to taking the medication.2
- Rarely, captopril can cause fatal liver problems.2
- Confusion, irregular heartbeat, and nervousness while taking captopril should be reported to a health care provider, as this may be a sign of too much potassium in the blood.3
