Heavy sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, or other causes of fluid loss may lead to very low blood pressure, dizziness, and fainting during therapy with Capoten. Maintain proper fluid intake to prevent dehydration and related side effects.

Capoten is in a class of drugs called angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors).
