Accupril (active ingredient: quinapril) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Accupril is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
  2. Heart Failure: It is also indicated for the treatment of heart failure, typically in combination with other medications, to improve symptoms and reduce the risk of hospitalization.

Accupril belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which work by relaxing blood vessels, thereby allowing blood to flow more easily and the heart to pump more efficiently.

Accupril (Quinapril) is prescribed in tablet form to be taken orally, with or without food, as per the doctor’s instructions, typically once or twice a day. The medication’s effectiveness may be compromised if taken with a high-fat meal. To minimize adverse events, physicians may start with a lower dose and gradually increase it. Patients should carefully adhere to their doctor’s guidelines.

The recommended initial dosage of Accupril (Quinapril) may vary depending on the patient’s medical condition.

  • In patients not taking diuretics, the recommended initial dose is typically 10 or 20 mg once daily. The dosage may be adjusted based on blood pressure response.
  • High blood pressure: Most people start with 10 to 20 mg by mouth once daily. Your doctor can raise your dose every few weeks until your blood pressure is under control. The maximum dose for lowering your blood pressure is 80 mg per day.
  • Heart failure: Most people start with 5 mg by mouth twice daily. Your doctor can raise your dose every few weeks. The usual dosage range is 10 to 20 mg by mouth twice daily.
