Side effect of capoten

Detailed Answer:
Good evening,

It seems you are suffering from gastro intestinal side effect of capoten.
Capoten causes hypersensitivity reactions leading to intestinal angioedema, which leads to abdominal pain.

You need to report to you doctor and an alternative medication can be prescribed.
Other side effects include headache, renal insufficiency with proteinuria, and some reported cases of Kaposi sarcoma.
