Özet
Captopril inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme and it is the most used sublingual drug in emergency departments to decrease blood pressure. Sublingual captopril is safe, effective and useful in treating hypertensive urgency. However, it is known that captopril has fewer systemic and dermatologic side effects such as headache, weakness and oral ulcers, oral pemphigus, consecutively. No data is available about captopril induced oral mucositis. Herein, we present a 50-year-old hypertensive woman who uses sublingual captopril frequently and suffers from recurrent, reversible and painful oral mucositis that thought to be caused by sublingual captopril. © 2019 OMU
