Captopril
The first orally active ACE inhibitor, used to treat hypertension, heart failure, and to protect kidney function in diabetic nephropathy. By blocking the angiotensin-converting enzyme, it prevents the formation of angiotensin II, leading to blood vessel relaxation and reduced aldosterone secretion. A dry persistent cough is a characteristic and common side effect.
