Accupril (Quinapril) Product Information

Accupril, containing the active ingredient quinapril, is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor prescribed to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure in adults. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other medications. By lowering blood pressure, Accupril reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack.

Indications and Usage

  • Hypertension: Accupril effectively lowers high blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
  • Heart Failure: In combination with other medications, Accupril helps manage heart failure symptoms and improve heart function.

Dosage and Administration

Always adhere to your doctor's prescribed dosage. Consistency is crucial, even if you feel well.

Hypertension:

  • Initial Dose: Typically, 10 or 20 mg orally once daily for patients not on diuretics.
  • Maintenance Dose: The dosage ranges from 20 to 80 mg per day, administered as a single dose or divided into two equal doses.

Accupril can be taken with or without food. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully, and do not adjust the dosage without consulting them.

Precautions and Warnings

Inform your doctor about your complete medical history, especially if you have:

  • Connective tissue diseases (e.g., Marfan syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, lupus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis)
  • Heart problems
  • Low blood pressure
  • High potassium levels (hyperkalemia)
  • Low-salt diet
  • Low white blood cell counts
  • Diabetes
  • Kidney disease (or dialysis)
  • Liver disease

Contraindications

Accupril is contraindicated in the following conditions:

  • Pregnancy: Do not use Accupril if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Immediately stop taking the medication and inform your doctor if pregnancy occurs.
  • Angioedema: If you have a history of angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), avoid Accupril.
  • Sacubitril-containing medications: Refrain from using Accupril within 36 hours before or after taking medications containing sacubitril (e.g., Entresto).
  • Aliskiren in diabetic patients: If you have diabetes, avoid using Accupril with aliskiren-containing medications (e.g., Tekturna, Tekamlo).
  • Allergy: Do not use Accupril if you are allergic to quinapril or any other ACE inhibitors (e.g., benazepril, captopril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril, moexipril, perindopril, ramipril, trandolapril).

Potential Side Effects

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as:

Serious side effects require immediate medical attention. Contact your doctor if you experience:

  • Chest pain
  • Fast, slow, or uneven heart rate
  • Lightheadedness or fainting
  • Swelling, rapid weight gain, or shortness of breath (signs of heart problems)
  • Swelling, decreased urination, fatigue, or shortness of breath (signs of kidney problems)
  • Loss of appetite, upper right abdominal pain, fatigue, itching, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (signs of liver problems)
  • Fever, chills, sore throat, body aches, unusual tiredness, loss of appetite, bruising, or bleeding (signs of infection)

  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, and meloxicam

In case of an overdose, seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control center.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Can I drink alcohol while taking Accupril?
    Alcohol can lower blood pressure and may increase the risk of dizziness or lightheadedness when taking Accupril. It is best to limit or avoid alcohol consumption.
  2. How long does it take for Accupril to start working?
    Accupril usually starts to lower blood pressure within a few hours, but it may take several weeks to see the full effect.
  3. Can I stop taking Accupril if my blood pressure is normal?
    Do not stop taking Accupril without consulting your doctor. Suddenly stopping the medication can cause your blood pressure to increase rapidly, which can be dangerous.
  4. Is Accupril safe for older adults?
    Accupril can be used in older adults, but caution is advised due to the increased risk of side effects such as dizziness and kidney problems.
  5. Can Accupril affect my kidney function?
    Accupril can affect kidney function, especially in people with pre-existing kidney problems. Your doctor will monitor your kidney function during treatment.
