ACE Inhibitors Side Effects | ACE Inhibitors Side Effects Mnemonic | The CAPTOPRIL Mnemonic
ACE inhibitors, or Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitors, are medications commonly used to manage hypertension and heart failure. They are effective but can have various side effects, which can be remembered using the mnemonic "CAPTOPRIL": Cough (a persistent dry cough due to bradykinin and substance P accumulation), Angioedema (swelling that can obstruct the airway), Proteinuria (can worsen existing kidney conditions), Taste changes (metallic or salty taste), Orthostatic hypotension (dizziness upon standing), Potassium elevation (hyperkalemia from reduced aldosterone), Renal failure (particularly in bilateral renal artery stenosis), Itching (pruritus affecting quality of life), and Low blood pressure (especially in sodium or volume-depleted patients). These side effects highlight the need for careful monitoring and patient education when using ACE inhibitors.
