Zapril

Updated

Zapril (2.5mg) makes me extremely constipated. This occurs in the shape of a section of faeces immediately before the anus. The length of this section is 10 to 15 cm. It appears almost as hard as a stick and reminds of glued together droppings of an animal like a deer. I stopped this medication 4 weeks ago and since that my defecation action doesn't require much effort anymore. Fazit: I regard the use of Zapril as very dangerous because it attacks the lining of the anus when you try to push the stick of faeces out. It anyway requires extreme belly muscles pressure( probably drives your blood pressure up as well), suppositories, help of fingers, etc. A stupid and irresponsible medication.

Zapril extremely drains your body of all fluids.With that I said everything I can say about it. Just wait for replies from other readers.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for sharing that very graphic description of your fecal matter. I'm sure it'll help many users on the site who may have similar shaped stool due to this medication. I mean this in the most clinical way possible. I wouldn't wish that side effect on my worst enemy to say the least Lol.

Oddly enough, diarrhea is listed as a potential but severe side effect of Zapril (Cilazapril); whereas nothing mentions constipation being an issue. However I wouldn't doubt it if this is one of those off-label side effects that few people experience.

NOTE: pale stools are signs of liver problems from this medication

Have you considered asking your doctor about other alternatives in the meantime?
