12/1/2009 My daughter has been taking this medication since she was two years old, and it has done an excellent job of controlling her high blood pressure.
3.7Patient Review
3/17/2011 I started taking Captopril on 11/10/2009. My blood pressure at that time was 169/104. As of 12/01/09, my blood pressure is now 158/82. I made no significant changes to my diet, although I am more conscious of my sodium intake. The only formal exercise I've had was walking a 1/2 mile on the treadmill this morning. I weigh 320lbs and Doc said if I lose 10-20 lbs there may be no need for meds! Sooo I'm walking them out of my life and back to health!

11/19/2009 This drug helps me to feel better by reducing my blood pressure.
3Patient Review
3/15/2010 I took this medication post-partum seven years ago and it worked well. My blood pressure is high again now, and this medication is not doing anything to help lower it. I took it before because of the low side effects, but it's simply not working as a treatment for me anymore.
2.7Patient Review
7/30/2009 At first, this drug made me really sick. It evened out after a year or so, but then my blood pressure started rising again. I'm not happy with how it's been working lately.
