Common questions about Captopril/hydrochlorothiazide

Captopril/hydrochlorothiazide is a combination medication. Captopril works by causing the blood vessels to dilate (widen), which will allow the blood to flow more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that works by preventing your body from reabsorbing salt and water through your urine. Together, these medications work to lower your blood pressure.

No, there are currently no brand or generic versions available in the United States.

It's not clear why captopril/hydrochlorothiazide was discontinued by different manufacturers. One manufacturer (Mylan) announced that there was a shortage of captopril/hydrochlorothiazide. It's likely that there is low demand for this medication, so the manufacturers stopped making it. The individual medications that make up this combination, captopril and hydrochlorothiazide, are still available as separate medications.
