Foods & drinks to be careful with
Well-established interactions for this medicine’s drug class, summarized from public health authorities. General information, not medical advice — always confirm with your pharmacist or the label.
Potassium-rich foods & salt substitutes
Watch out for: salt substitutes containing potassium, and large amounts of potassium-rich foods or supplements.
These medicines can raise blood potassium. Adding a lot of extra potassium can push it too high (hyperkalemia), which can affect the heart.
What to do: Don't use potassium-based salt substitutes unless your clinician approves, and ask before taking potassium supplements. Your clinician may check your potassium level with blood tests.

- What does Capoten treat?
- Capoten (Captopril) may be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, bartter syndrome, diabetic nephropathies, edema, heart failure, malignant hypertension, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label).

- How much does Capoten cost?

Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Qbrelis — about $0.77 on the same basis.
