Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: B. Persistent cough

Step by step solution

01

Understand what Capoten is and its mechanism of action

Capoten is the brand name for captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It works by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which helps to relax blood vessels and decrease blood pressure. This is prescribed to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
02

Identify the common adverse reactions associated with Capoten

To identify the correct answer for the given multiple-choice question, we need to know the common adverse reactions associated with Capoten. These reactions include: Persistent cough, hypotension (low blood pressure), taste disturbances, rash, and dizziness.
03

Match the given options with the known adverse reactions of Capoten

Now, we can compare the given options with the common adverse reactions of Capoten we listed in Step 2. A. Tinnitus - Not a common adverse reaction B. Persistent cough - Common adverse reaction C. Muscle weakness - Not a common adverse reaction D. Diarrhea - Not a common adverse reaction Since the persistent cough is the only common adverse reaction listed among the options, the correct answer is: B. Persistent cough.
