What is the generic name for captopril?

“Captopril” is the generic (nonproprietary) name. The drug’s generic name is used on prescriptions and generically manufactured versions.

Is captopril the same as the generic version?

Yes. When someone says “captopril generic,” they typically mean a manufacturer’s version of captopril (the generic drug substance). The brand version may have a different trademark name, but it contains the same active ingredient: captopril.

How to tell whether you’re getting brand or generic

Check the label for:
- The active ingredient (it should say captopril)
- The product name (a trademarked brand name vs a company/manufacturer version)
- The strength (mg) and dosage form (for example, tablets)

If you share your country and the exact label name you see, I can help identify which brand it is and confirm whether it’s captopril or a different drug.
