Clinical studies of Wytensin did not include sufficient number of subject aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.

We have completed the review of this supplemental application, as amended, and have concluded that adequate information has been presented to demonstrate that the drug product is safe and effective for use as recommended in the final printed labeling (package insert) included in your August 17, 2001 submission.

However, peripheral vascular resistance is lowered more than cardiac output is increased, resulting in a significant decrease in blood pressure.

Captopril also increases renal blood flow but has no effect on the glomerular filtration rate.

ACE is similar to bradykinase (kinase II).

Thus, ACE inhibitors increase the levels of bradykinin, and bradykinin stimulates the synthesis of prostaglandins.

It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the drug, and there may be a crosssensitivity to other ACE inhibitors.

It resolves within 1 to 4 days after therapy stops but is a major reason for nonadherence to therapy.

Angioedema can occur after the first dose of captopril, or at any other time during therapy.

In both their chemical structures and biological activities, adrenergics and adrenergicblocking agents constitute an extremely varied group of drugs whose clinical utility includes prescription drugs to treat lifethreatening conditions such as asthma and hypertension as well as nonprescription medications for minor ailments such as the common cold.

Identification of subclasses of adrenoceptors has been greatly aided by the tools of molecular biology and, to date, six distinct -ad-renoceptors (1A, 1B, 1D, 2A, 2B, 2C), and three distinct -adrenoceptors (1, 2, 3) have been clearly identified (1), with conflicting evidence for a fourth type of (4) (1--3).

2.2 Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination Because of the large numbers of chemicals acting as either adrenergics or adrenergic-block-ing drugs, only representative examples will be given and limited to metabolites identified in humans.
