Hi I don’t know if this is something you’re interested in but I’ve seen people send you snake themed art and I thought you might get a kick out of something I made for ceramics class. (and I want to talk about my favorite snake)
It’s based on Bothrops Jararaca. I found out during research for this project that there are some snakes whose venoms are used in medicine, not just antivenin, and the first medicine to use snake venom, Captopril, comes from Bothrops Jararaca venom. (The water was supposed to come from the fangs but that’s not very doable.) I know it seems to be a really niche subject even in herpetology, but I’m curious if you know of other snake venoms in medicine or if you’ve had experience with that? Honestly outside of research for an art project I don’t know a ton about this and I’d love to learn more.
That's so cool! The Jararaca is an awesome snake, and you did a fantastic job! Such a cool piece.
One of the big reasons (besides antivenin, of course!) that we extract venom at labs is for use in medicines. Snakes in the Bothrops genus have a really good venom for this purpose, and the other really big ones are rattlesnakes. Pygmy rattler venom in particular is super common in medicines for treating heart disease, but just about every North American rattlesnake venom is used in some kind of heart disease medication. Aside from snakes, gila monster venom is also used in medicines used for helping with diabetes symptoms!

🌿Rosemary Devotional - Day 4: Mundane Properties.
Culinary Properties. Rosemary is one of the most prized herbs used in cooking, especially in Mediterranean cuisine. It is used to flavour various dishes, both sweet and savoury, but is most popular in dressings for meats. Rosemary is found in the French herb blends bouquet garni and herbes de Provence as well as in seasoning blends for lamb, roasted vegetables, and various Mediterranean dishes. The leaves have a bitter taste which compliments fatty foods like lamb and oily fish. Rosemary leaves contain about 1 to 2.5% essential oils and the main flavour of rosemary comes from the aromatic compounds “eucalyptol” and “alpha pinene” which are described as camphor-like and piney respectively.
Narbonne honey from France mostly comes from bees feeding on rosemary blossoms.
Use in Beauty and Cosmetics. Rosemary flowers and leaves contain an essential oil which has a strong aromatic fragrance, making it a popular ingredient in perfumery, cosmetics, hair products and incense burners.
Rosemary has strong antioxidant properties and contains iron, calcium, and phytonutrients so it is added to hair care products to provide hydration and protection from sun damage. Medicinal Properties. The herb has been hailed since ancient times for its medicinal properties. Rosemary was traditionally used to help alleviate muscle pain, improve memory, boost the immune and circulatory system, and promote hair growth and is a good source of iron, calcium, and vitamin B-6. The leaves and flowers of rosemary can be used to make a tea, thought to relieve headaches, colic, colds, and depression. Rosemary also has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
It was used in traditional European herbal remedies for a variety of ailments, including wounds, eczema, poor appetite, and asthma. Modern research have shown that rosemary may improve a person’s concentration, performance, speed, and accuracy and, to a lesser extent, their mood. Other studies suggest that Rosemary may slow brain aging and could possibly protect against macular degeneration. Rosemary can affect the activity of some medications, including:
Anticoagulant drugs: These include blood-thinning medications, such as Warfarin, Aspirin, and Clopidogrel.
ACE inhibitors: These are used for treating high blood pressure. They include lisinopril (Zestril), fosinopril (Monopril), captopril (Capoten), and enalapril (Vasotec).
Diuretics: These increase the passing of urine and include hydrocholorothiazide and furosemide (Lasix).
Lithium: This is used to treat the manic episodes of manic depression. Rosemary can act as a diuretic and cause lithium to reach toxic levels in the body.

Captopril for Dogs: Benefits, Dosage, Side Effects, and More
Captopril for Dogs
Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor commonly used in veterinary medicine to manage heart conditions in dogs, particularly congestive heart failure (CHF) and systemic hypertension (high blood pressure). Initially developed for human use, captopril has found its place in treating canine patients with cardiovascular issues, offering numerous benefits but also requiring careful administration and monitoring due to potential side effects.
Understanding Captopril and Its Mechanism of Action
Captopril works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme, which is responsible for converting angiotensin I into angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to narrow, leading to increased blood pressure and making the heart work harder. By blocking this conversion, captopril allows blood vessels to relax and widen, reducing the workload on the heart and lowering blood pressure. This action is particularly beneficial for dogs suffering from CHF, as it helps to improve blood flow and reduce fluid buildup in the lungs and other tissues.
Benefits of Captopril for Dogs
Managing Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): CHF is a common condition in dogs, especially in older or certain breeds like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Captopril helps manage CHF by reducing the resistance the heart faces when pumping blood, thus improving cardiac output and reducing symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, and lethargy.
Lowering Blood Pressure: For dogs diagnosed with systemic hypertension, captopril can effectively lower blood pressure, preventing damage to organs such as the kidneys, eyes, and brain, which can result from prolonged high blood pressure.
Improving Quality of Life: By easing the burden on the heart and lowering blood pressure, captopril can significantly improve a dog's overall quality of life. Dogs may exhibit increased energy levels, better appetite, and greater overall comfort as a result of treatment.
Potential Renal Protection: In some cases, captopril may offer renal protection by reducing the progression of kidney disease, particularly in dogs with proteinuria (protein in the urine), which is often associated with high blood pressure.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of captopril for dogs must be carefully determined by a veterinarian, as it varies depending on the dog's weight, the severity of the condition being treated, and the presence of any other health issues. Captopril is usually administered orally, with or without food, typically two to three times a day.
Typical Dosage: The usual starting dose is around 0.5 to 2 mg per kg of body weight, given every 8 to 12 hours. The dosage may be adjusted based on the dog’s response to the medication and any side effects observed.
Monitoring: Regular monitoring is crucial when a dog is on captopril. Blood pressure, kidney function (via blood tests for creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels), and electrolyte levels should be checked periodically to ensure the medication is working effectively without causing harm.
Potential Side Effects of Captopril
While captopril can be highly beneficial, it also carries the risk of side effects, particularly if not used correctly. Some of the potential side effects include:
Gastrointestinal Issues: Dogs may experience vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. These symptoms are usually mild but should be reported to the veterinarian if they persist.
Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure): As captopril lowers blood pressure, there is a risk that it may cause blood pressure to drop too low, leading to weakness, dizziness, or fainting. This is more likely to occur in dogs that are dehydrated or have other underlying health conditions.
Kidney Dysfunction: Captopril can affect kidney function, particularly in dogs with pre-existing kidney issues. It’s important to monitor kidney parameters closely during treatment to avoid exacerbating any renal problems.
Hyperkalemia (High Potassium Levels): Captopril can cause an increase in potassium levels, which can lead to dangerous heart rhythms if not managed properly. Regular blood tests are essential to monitor electrolyte levels.
Coughing: A persistent dry cough is a less common side effect but can occur due to the buildup of bradykinin, a substance that captopril can increase in the body.
Allergic Reactions: Though rare, some dogs may have an allergic reaction to captopril, manifesting as itching, rash, or swelling. Immediate veterinary attention is required in such cases.
Precautions and Considerations
Captopril should be used with caution in dogs with pre-existing kidney disease, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalances. It should not be used in dogs that are pregnant, as it can cause harm to the developing fetus. Additionally, it’s important to inform the veterinarian of any other medications the dog is taking, as captopril can interact with other drugs, including diuretics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), potentially leading to adverse effects.

Rotina: ♡ Nova síntese e QA's
Sentimentos sobre a consulta: Meu prontuário ficou horrível. O que é hilário, porque achei que tinha ficado ótimo! Na hora de construir a síntese me atrapalhei toda. O prontuário da Cris são perguntas e respostas, achei mais organizado assim, afinal minha consulta já é estrutura com perguntas padronizadas em uma ordem específica, conseguiria me localizar bem mais fácil em um prontuário desse jeito (apesar de não ser o ideal).
Vou levar esse questionamento para próxima aula
Sentimentos sobre minha participação: Não participei tanto quanto gostaria, não gosto de apresentações sem preparo prévio. Sou megalomaníaca. Fiquei triste que agora a nova síntese vai ser feita apenas com o grupo da Rafa, preferia quando misturava, trazia mais pluralidade de ideias e gostava dos insights da Magda.
Sentimentos sobre os professores: Não sei como ela se articula tão bem. A linha de raciocínio é muito clara e a aula é fluida! Gostaria que desse TBL no lugar da Tati (trauma)
Sentimentos sobre a turma: Odeio todos, quero me formar logo.
Dica para o dia da APA Gostaria que a Rafa se apresentasse melhor para os alunos, contasse um pouco sobre a trajetória de vida dela! Foi isso que me fez gostar bastante (antes achava exigente e sem coração, mas depois me cresceu uma admiração muito grande e me vejo nela em várias aspectos). Fofocas Carol e a Ana gostaram muito da Rafa, acham um tanto perdidinha referente a atribuições (mas esse é o charme), mas adoraram os feedbacks detalhados.
QA's
1) Quais são as alterações nos exames físicos de paciente com Trombose Venosa Profunda (TVP)? 2) Qual o mecanismo de ação do Captopril? 3) Qual o mecanismo fisiológico para os sintomas relatados? (perda de peso, poliúria, polifagia e polidipsia) 4) Como é feito o diagnóstico da Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2? Quais são os valores referências da glicemia em um adulto? 5) Quais são as principais complicações da Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2? (agudas e crônicas - retinopatia, doença vascular crônica e afins) 6) Quais vacinas são recomendadas, segundo o Ministério da Saúde, para idosos? Quais são os intervalos? 7) Defina a fisiopatologia da Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC). Qual o principal diagnóstico diferencial? (é a asma). Fazer uma tabela diferenciando os dois. Qual o tratamento básico? DPOC x Asma? (citar quais os sintomas, diagnósticos e afins). 8) Qual a diferença entre fadiga, cansaço e dispneia? 9) Qual a diferença entre informar e pactuar?

TRATADO DE:
PÉNFIGO VULGAR - FOLIÁCEO
Pénfigo vulgar y manifestación.
El pénfigo vulgar es la enfermedad autoinmune, que se manifiesta por formación de ampollas en la piel y en las membranas mucosas. Y afecta a las personas de mediana edad o mayores. La primera lesión del pénfigo vulgar es una ampolla suave llena de un líquido transparente que aparece sobre la piel sana o irritada. Muchos de los casos comienzan con ampollas en la boca seguidas por ampollas en la piel que pueden aparecer y desaparecer. Las ampollas en la boca pueden causar dificultad para comer. La ruptura de ampollas en la piel puede ser dolorosa y limitar las actividades diarias del paciente. Los pacientes con pénfigo vulgar típicamente se curan sin dejar cicatrices, menos en los casos en que hay infecciones de las ampollas. En el pénfigo vulgar hay anticuerpos contra las propias células de la piel. Sin embargo, la causa exacta de pénfigo vulgar es desconocida.
El tratamiento está dirigido a reducir los síntomas y prevenir complicaciones, y puede incluir el uso de corticoides y medicamentos inmunosupresores
Causa
El pénfigo vulgar es una enfermedad autoinmune, en la que el sistema inmunitario produce anticuerpos contra proteínas específicas de la piel y membranas mucosas del propio paciente, llamadas desmogleínas.
Estas proteínas forman el pegamento que mantiene unidas las células cutáneas y la piel intacta. Cuando las desmogleínas son atacadas, las células de la piel se separan unas de otras y se acumula líquido entre las capas de la piel, lo que lleva a la formación de ampollas. En algunos casos, estas ampollas pueden cubrir una gran superficie de la piel.
La causa exacta de la enfermedad, (o sea, porque se forman los anticuerpos contra las desmogleínas) se desconoce en muchos casos. Sin embargo, se han identificado varios factores que pueden ser importantes:
Factores Genéticos:
La predisposición a pénfigo está ligado a factores genéticos. Ciertas sustancias conocidas como complejo principal de histocompatibilidad, en especial los alelos del antígeno leucocitario humano (HLA) DR4, hacen que haya más chances de tener pénfigo vulgar.
Edad:
La edad pico de aparición es de 50-60 años, pero puede aparecer en niños o en personas de mayor edad. Los bebés con pénfigo neonatal = del pañal, se recuperan porque tienen la protección de los anticuerpos de la madre.
Asociación con otras enfermedades:
El pénfigo es común en personas que también tienen otras enfermedades autoinmunes, en particular la miastenia gravis y el timoma.
Raramente, algunos casos de pénfigo vulgar son causados por ciertos medicamentos. Entre otros, los medicamentos que pueden causar esta condición incluyen:
Medicamentos para la presión arterial llamados inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de la angiotensina, como captopril.
Agentes quelantes tales como penicilamina, que eliminan ciertos serológicos de la sangre.
Antibióticos como la Cefalosporina - Pirazolonas, que se usan para el dolor y la fiebre.
Los fármacos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINE) Rifampicina.
El estrés emocional, quemaduras térmicas, rayos ultravioleta, y las infecciones también han sido reportados como factores desencadenantes de pénfigo vulgar.
El pénfigo no es contagioso. No se pasa de persona a persona. Aunque puede haber una predisposición genética y hay algunos casos de varios afectados en la misma familia, considerando el factor hereditario.
Tratamiento
El objetivo del tratamiento en el pénfigo vulgar es disminuir la formación de ampollas y promover la cicatrización de las ampollas, usando la menor dosis de medicación necesaria para controlar el proceso de la enfermedad. El tratamiento es individualizado, y debe tomar en cuenta todas las condiciones de salud que el paciente tiene.
El tratamiento incluye los siguientes medicamentos:
Corticoides:
Son la medicina principal para el tratamiento. Han mejorado mucho el resultado de la enfermedad, pero su uso por mucho tiempo puede resultar en muchos efectos adversos.
Medicamentos inmunosupresores como el rituximab, sulfasalazina, pentoxifilina, metotrexato, y dapsona.
La terapia de inmunoglobulina intravenosa.
Infliximab.
Terapia fotodinámica.
Mizoribina se ha utilizado para problemas en el ojo causado por la enfermedad.
Pronóstico
El pénfigo vulgar en el pasado era considerado una enfermedad muy grave y que podía ser fatal en muchos casos. Hoy en día, la enfermedad se considera seria pero raramente es fatal. En casi todos los casos relativos de muertes en esta enfermedad la causa son las infecciones secundarias. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los casos de pénfigo vulgar pueden ser controlados con corticoides y otros medicamentos, y, en algunos casos después de un tiempo el tratamiento puede ser completamente interrumpido. No obstante, estos medicamentos pueden causar efectos secundarios que también pueden ser graves. El pénfigo y su tratamiento pueden ser debilitante y resultar en mucho tiempo perdido en el trabajo, pérdida de peso, pérdida de sueño y en estrés emocional. Los grupos de apoyo pueden ayudar a los pacientes a lidiar con la enfermedad
Pénfigo foliáceo
El pénfigo foliáceo es también una enfermedad autoinmunitaria de la piel. Genera ampollas profundas que no se rompen fácilmente. Es más común en personas mayores y puede ser fatal.
Los médicos diagnostican el pénfigo a través de un examen físico, una biopsia y pruebas de sangre. El tratamiento para el pénfigo vulgar y foliáceo es el mismo, una o más medicinas para controlar los síntomas.
Estas pueden incluir:
Corticoides, que reducen la inflamación.
Drogas que suprimen la respuesta del sistema inmunitario.
Antibióticos para tratar las infecciones concurrentes.
Se recomienda asistencia institucional hospitalaria, en Dermatología.
En medicina homeopática, es posible ayudar en el tratamiento con remedios homeopáticos y aplicación de crema específica.
Remedios homeopáticos: •Bellis peren. •Bolus mineralis /polvo. •Bothrops jararaca. •Cantharis v. •Celuloterapia. •Cistus canadensis. •Echinacea T.M. •Euphorbium. •Euphorbium-Crema de. •Hepar sulfuris. •Mercurius solubilis. •Piper methysticum. •Rhus toxicodendron. •Silicea. •Sulfur.
Nota.
El remedio homeopático, se elabora acorde a casos clínicos.

What causes a Metallic Taste in the Mouth?
A metallic taste in the mouth can indicate an underlying condition, such as an infection, cancer, or autoimmune disease. Most cases of metallic taste are minor and will resolve on their own over time or when good oral habits are restored. Good oral hygiene is essential for preventing the metallic taste from returning and avoiding decay or potential new cavities.
Common causes of Metallic taste in mouth
Medications A medication is frequently blamed for an unpleasant metallic taste in your mouth. Many drugs of this type, particularly antibiotics, antidepressants, and antihistamines, can cause taste changes. This occurs because medications can be excreted through saliva, directly affecting taste buds, or they can interact with the central nervous system, altering taste sensations. Medications that frequently cause this side effect include:
Antibiotics include metronidazole and tetracycline.
Claritin and Benadryl are examples of antihistamine medications used to treat allergies. It should be noted that the group of antidepressants under consideration includes lithium and specific SSRIs.
Blood pressure medications, such as captopril.
Dental Problems Oral health issues can alter our taste perception. Gingivitis, periodontitis, infections, and other dental conditions all produce a metallic taste. Poor oral hygiene, such as plaque or cavities, can also cause this. Dental work that uses metallic elements, such as filling a tooth or creating a crown, can occasionally result in a sudden metallic taste in the mouth.
Dietary Factors Certain foods and nutritional supplements can produce a metallic or otherwise abnormal taste in the mouth. Although metal flavours in the mouth are most commonly caused by medications or dietary supplements, they can also be a sign of serious underlying conditions. Chemotherapy and radiation can achieve the same results. Common medical conditions that can cause a metallic taste in the mouth include ear or upper respiratory infections like sinusitis, as well as head injuries or conditions that damage the central nervous system (CNS).
Infections and Illnesses Upper respiratory infections such as colds, sinusitis, and flu, as well as other diseases like COVID-19, can distort your sense of taste. They accomplish this by inducing inflammation and congestion in the upper nasal passages, which are directly connected to the mouth. Certain chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and liver or kidney disease, can also result in a metallic taste in the mouth due to changes in metabolic functions.
Fewer causes of metallic taste in the mouth
Neurological Conditions: Certain brain disorders can alter taste perception. In fact, some disorders or conditions can result in a persistent metallic taste in your mouth. Parkinson's disease (PD), cerebral palsy, and stroke are examples of neurological conditions that can result in excessive saliva production when swallowing.
Early pregnancy symptoms may include a metallic taste. When you're pregnant, your hormone levels can rise, causing damage and making your mouth taste rusty.
Environmental Exposure: Exposure to certain chemicals and heavy metals may cause a metallic taste in your mouth. This can occur if you inhale, ingest, or come into contact with lead, mercury, or certain pesticides. Metalworking is also a risk factor in the workplace, particularly in industries dealing with metals and chemical manufacturing.
Diagnosis and Treatment
If you have a persistent preference for metal taste, it is critical to identify the underlying cause. You can make changes to the following situations:
Review Medications: If you suspect a medication is causing the issue, consult your healthcare provider. They may adjust the dosage or recommend a different drug.
Oral Hygiene: Maintain proper oral hygiene by cleaning your teeth regularly. Visit your dentist for regular check-ups and to avoid dental problems.
Make dietary changes: Avoid foods and supplements that have a metallic taste.
Medical Consultation: If the metallic taste persists, seek medical attention. Doctors can run tests to determine whether you are infected, sick, or have been exposed to hazardous substances.
Preventive Measures
Eliminating the metal taste necessitates identifying the potential triggers:
Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water can help remove fluids from the mouth, which may be causing the metallic taste.
Quit Smoking: Addiction to smoking can harm your taste buds by killing cells and leaving you with a metallic taste. Tobacco cessation promotes overall dental health and taste sensation.
Maintain a well-balanced diet rich in essential amino acids and mineral salts to prevent taste loss caused by vitamin deficiencies.
Regular check-ups with doctors and dentists can help identify and address issues before they become taste disorders.
When to Seek Help
On the one hand, a sudden metallic taste in the mouth is commonly thought to be a temporary and harmless illness, but it could be the first sign of a more serious condition. Medical care should be sought if:
Persistent or increasing metallic taste.
Additional symptoms may include shortness of breath, oedema, or skin rashes.
Observable infection symptoms include fever, cough, and sinus problems.
Neurological symptoms, such as difficulty speaking, muscle weakness, and vision changes, are significant to observe.
Conclusion
This can be caused by a variety of factors, including taking common medications or having complex medical issues. Understanding these can help people find relief. If it persists, consult your doctor for more information on what is wrong and how to treat it. Maintain good oral hygiene, drink plenty of water, and watch what you eat to avoid and manage this unpleasant disturbance.

If lifestyle changes are not enough to control hypertension, or if the condition is severe or complicated by other health issues, medication may be prescribed. There are many types of blood pressure medications, each with a different mechanism of action and possible side effects. Some of the most common ones are:
Diuretics, help the kidneys eliminate excess water and salt from the body, reducing the blood volume and pressure. Examples are hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, and spironolactone.
Beta-blockers, slow down the heart rate and reduce the force of contraction, lowering the blood pressure and the oxygen demand of the heart. Examples are atenolol, metoprolol, and propranolol.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, block the production of a hormone that causes the blood vessels to narrow, allowing them to relax and widen. Examples are captopril, enalapril, and lisinopril.
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), prevent the action of the same hormone that ACE inhibitors block, resulting in similar effects. Examples are losartan, valsartan, and candesartan.
Calcium channel blockers, prevent the entry of calcium into the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels, relaxing them and lowering the blood pressure and the workload of the heart. Examples are amlodipine, diltiazem, and verapamil.
Alpha-blockers inhibit the action of another hormone that causes the blood vessels to constrict, relaxing them and reducing the blood pressure. Examples are doxazosin, prazosin, and terazosin.
Renin-inhibitors interfere with the production of an enzyme that initiates a chain of reactions that lead to the formation of the hormone that ACE inhibitors and ARBs block, thus lowering blood pressure. An example is aliskiren.

Is Your Dog Suffering from Heart Problems? Captopril Could Be the Answer!"
As dog owners, ensuring the health and well-being of our beloved pets is a top priority. One of the more common yet often overlooked health concerns in dogs is heart disease. It can be especially concerning as heart problems can lead to a drastic decrease in your dog’s quality of life if left untreated. Fortunately, veterinary medicine offers several solutions, and one drug that has shown significant promise in managing canine heart issues is Captopril.
What Is Captopril?
Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that is commonly prescribed to treat heart failure, high blood pressure, and certain kidney conditions in both humans and dogs. Its primary function is to help the blood vessels relax, reducing the strain on the heart and improving blood flow. For dogs with heart disease, this translates into better circulation and less stress on the heart, which can lead to improved energy levels and overall well-being.
Understanding Canine Heart Disease
Canine heart disease comes in various forms, with congestive heart failure (CHF) and mitral valve disease (MVD) being among the most common. These conditions often cause the heart to work harder than it should, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, coughing, shortness of breath, and a reluctance to exercise. Over time, heart disease can severely impact your dog's life, reducing their mobility and overall happiness.
Early detection is crucial for managing heart disease effectively, and knowing the symptoms can make all the difference. If your dog exhibits any of the following signs, a trip to the vet is warranted:
Coughing that doesn’t go away
Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing
Lethargy or reluctance to move
Fainting or collapsing
Swelling in the abdomen
How Captopril Works for Canine Heart Health
Captopril works by blocking the action of a specific enzyme that causes blood vessels to constrict. When blood vessels are constricted, the heart has to work much harder to pump blood through the body, leading to increased strain on the heart muscle. By inhibiting this enzyme, Captopril allows blood vessels to relax and widen, making it easier for the heart to do its job.
In dogs with heart conditions like CHF, this reduction in strain can lead to significant improvements. Captopril can help alleviate symptoms such as coughing and fatigue, improve your dog’s breathing, and increase their ability to engage in normal activities.
Benefits of Captopril for Dogs
Veterinarians have been using Captopril to treat canine heart conditions for years, and its benefits are well-documented:
Improved Circulation: By dilating the blood vessels, Captopril reduces the amount of effort the heart must exert to pump blood. This improvement in circulation leads to a more efficient cardiovascular system, which can ease symptoms like lethargy and difficulty breathing.
Reduced Fluid Buildup: Many dogs with CHF experience fluid buildup in their lungs or abdomen. Captopril helps prevent this by improving the heart’s ability to circulate blood, reducing the likelihood of fluid retention.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Dogs on Captopril often show marked improvements in their energy levels and overall disposition. Many pet owners report that their dogs seem “like their old selves” after starting the medication.
Potential Life Extension: While no medication can completely cure heart disease, Captopril can significantly slow its progression, helping dogs live longer, healthier lives.
Potential Side Effects
Like any medication, Captopril is not without its potential side effects. Although most dogs tolerate the drug well, some may experience mild gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting or diarrhea. In rare cases, dogs may experience low blood pressure, dizziness, or changes in kidney function.
It’s essential to follow your veterinarian’s dosage recommendations carefully and monitor your dog for any signs of adverse reactions. Regular check-ups are also necessary to ensure that the medication is working as intended and that your dog’s overall health remains stable.
Captopril vs. Other Heart Medications
You might wonder how Captopril compares to other heart medications for dogs. While other drugs like Pimobendan and Enalapril are also used to treat heart disease, Captopril stands out due to its long history of use and effectiveness in managing symptoms related to high blood pressure and heart failure.
The choice of medication depends on your dog’s specific condition and needs. Some dogs may benefit from a combination of heart medications to target different aspects of heart disease. Your veterinarian will determine the best course of treatment based on your dog’s unique health situation.
Caring for a Dog with Heart Disease
Managing canine heart disease is a lifelong commitment, but with the right treatment plan, your dog can enjoy a good quality of life. In addition to medications like Captopril, maintaining a healthy diet, providing moderate exercise, and scheduling regular vet visits are crucial to managing your dog’s heart health.
Heart disease in dogs doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With early intervention and proper management, many dogs with heart conditions continue to lead happy, active lives. Staying informed and proactive about your dog’s health is the best way to ensure they remain by your side for as long as possible.
Conclusion
Captopril has proven to be a valuable tool in managing heart disease in dogs, helping to reduce the strain on the heart, improve circulation, and alleviate symptoms. While it may not be a cure, it can make a significant difference in your dog’s quality of life. If you’re concerned about your dog’s heart health, discussing treatment options like Captopril with your veterinarian is an essential step.
For those looking to learn more about caring for dogs with heart disease or seeking further insights into the best treatments, there are many resources available to guide you on this journey. Stay informed and take proactive steps to support your furry friend’s health and happiness.

Definition – Severe hypertension in adults (often defined as systolic blood pressure ≥180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥120 mmHg) can be associated with a variety of acute, life-threatening complications, any one of which is considered a hypertensive emergency. Much more common, however, is the relatively or completely asymptomatic patient with a blood pressure in the "severe" range (ie, ≥180/≥120 mmHg), often a mild headache, but no signs or symptoms of acute end-organ damage. This entity of severe asymptomatic hypertension is sometimes called hypertensive urgency.
●Management – The optimal management of patients with severe asymptomatic hypertension is unclear. However, in such patients, our overall approach is as follows:
•Rapidity of therapy – We suggest lowering the blood pressure over a period of hours to days rather than longer periods of time (Grade 2C). The rapidity with which blood pressure should be brought to safe levels is controversial and not based upon high-quality medical evidence. This suggestion stems from and seeks to balance two major concerns. These include:
-The risk of adverse events (eg, stroke or myocardial infarction) that may occur if the blood pressure is lowered too rapidly or to a level below the ability for autoregulation to maintain adequate tissue perfusion.
-The potential risk of imminent cardiovascular events that may result from severe hypertension if the blood pressure is not quickly and sufficiently reduced. In patients visiting an emergency department for severe hypertension, potential legal ramifications partially motivate lowering the blood pressure over several hours.
•Initial goal blood pressure – Over this period, we suggest lowering the blood pressure to <160/<100 mmHg or to a level that is no more than 25 to 30 percent lower than the baseline blood pressure (Grade 2C). Thus, the short-term blood pressure target may need to be above 160/100 mmHg in patients who present with very high pressures, because cerebral or myocardial ischemia or infarction, or acute kidney injury, can be induced by rapid and aggressive antihypertensive therapy if the blood pressure falls below the range at which tissue perfusion can be maintained by autoregulation. This approach has not been well studied and is based mostly upon experience. In the long-term, the blood pressure should usually be reduced further (eg, <140/<90 or <130/<80 mmHg).
•Therapeutic options – There are a variety of options for lowering the blood pressure in patients with severe asymptomatic hypertension. All patients should be provided a quiet room in which to rest. This may produce a fall in blood pressure ≥20/10 mmHg in approximately one-third of adults. If this is not effective, antihypertensive drugs may be given. The antihypertensive strategy depends upon whether the goal is to lower the blood pressure more quickly (period of hours) or less quickly (period of days):
-To lower the blood pressure over a period of hours, some use oral clonidine (but should not be maintained as long-term therapy) or oral captopril (if the patient is not volume overloaded). However, sublingual nifedipine is contraindicated in this setting and should not be used.
-To lower the blood pressure over a period of days, our approach depends upon the circumstances. In general, the treatment is resumption of antihypertensive therapy (in nonadherent patients), initiation of antihypertensive therapy (if patients are treatment naïve), or the addition of another antihypertensive drug (in patients who are currently treated).
●Triage – The patient with severe asymptomatic hypertension is usually managed in the emergency department since exclusion of acute end-organ damage requires laboratory testing, and the patient may (depending on local policies and procedures) receive medications and several hours of observation. However, the patient can often be safely managed in the clinician's office if the evaluation and management can be carried out in that setting. The management of a patient who does not have established follow-up is difficult. Rarely, such patients may require admission. In addition, patients at high risk for acute cardiovascular events (eg, longstanding diabetes, known coronary artery disease or prior stroke) should probably be admitted. Ideally, if treated acutely, patients should be observed for a few hours to ascertain that the blood pressure is stable or improving, that they indeed remain asymptomatic, and that they have received referral to an appropriate source of long-term medical care.
