Accupril How to Take

Accupril (Quinapril) belongs to the class of medications called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is used to treat high blood pressure and Congestive Heart Failure. It works by relaxing blood vessels and by making the heart pump more efficiently.

Accupril (Quinapril) may be used in addition to diuretics (water pills) known as thiazide diuretics (e.g., Hydrochlorothiazide) when one medication has not been found to control blood pressure satisfactorily.

Your doctor may have suggested Accupril (Quinapril) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Accupril (Quinapril), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Accupril (Quinapril) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Accupril (Quinapril) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Accupril (Quinapril) if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Accupril Precautions

There may be an interaction between Accupril (Quinapril) and any of the following:

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

  • stop taking one of the medications,
  • change one of the medications to another,
  • change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
  • leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Accupril (Quinapril). Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Accupril Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Accupril (Quinapril).

Angioedema: As with other medications in this family, Accupril (Quinapril) has been reported to cause angioedema (swelling of the mouth, lips, tongue, eye, or throat causing difficulty swallowing or breathing) in a small number of people. Accupril (Quinapril) may also cause intestinal angioedema. This condition develops as abdominal pain, sometimes with nausea or vomiting.

If any of these symptoms occur, stop taking Accupril (Quinapril) immediately and seek immediate medical attention. Also, consult your doctor immediately about any unexplained rash, fever, or itching. If you experience angioedema with Accupril (Quinapril), do not take any other ACE inhibitors (e.g., Enalapril, lisinopril, or ramipril).

Blood disorders: In rare cases, a low white blood cell count has been reported with people taking Accupril (Quinapril). Your doctor may occasionally monitor your level of white blood cells by performing blood tests. Low white blood cell levels may increase your risk for infection.

If you notice any signs of infection (e.g., fever, sore throat), contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Cough: People taking Accupril (Quinapril) may develop a dry, persistent cough that usually disappears only after stopping or lowering the dose of Accupril (Quinapril).

Diabetes: ACE inhibitors such as Accupril (Quinapril) may lead to Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) in people with diabetes. If you have diabetes, discuss with your doctor how Accupril (Quinapril) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Accupril (Quinapril), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Kidney function: Changes in kidney function have occurred in certain people who take Accupril (Quinapril). The use of diuretics (water pills) or aliskiren may further increase the risk of kidney problems for those already at risk for this problem. If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how Accupril (Quinapril) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Accupril (Quinapril), and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you have kidney function impairment you may require lower doses of Accupril (Quinapril).

Liver function: Accupril (Quinapril) may cause liver problems. If you experience any signs of liver problems such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, fever, generally feeling unwell, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, itching, muscle pain, rash, or swollen glands, contact your doctor immediately. If you have liver problems you will need to be closely monitored by your doctor while taking Accupril (Quinapril).

Low blood pressure: Occasionally, blood pressure drops too low after taking Accupril (Quinapril). This usually happens after the first or second dose or when the dose is increased. It is more likely to occur for those who take the medication aliskiren, diuretics, have a salt-restricted diet, are on dialysis, have diarrhea, or are vomiting.

To reduce the risk of dizziness, get up slowly from a lying or sitting position. If low blood pressure causes you to faint or feel lightheaded, contact your doctor.

Planned surgery: Accupril (Quinapril) can affect with how the body responds to certain medications that are used in surgery. If you have surgery planned, make sure your medical team knows you are taking Accupril (Quinapril).

Potassium levels: Increases in blood levels of potassium occur for approximately 2% of people who take Accupril (Quinapril). This rarely causes problems, but your doctor will likely want to monitor your potassium levels through blood tests.

Reduced alertness: Accupril (Quinapril) may reduce alertness, especially at the beginning of treatment. Do not drive or perform tasks that require alertness until you know how Accupril (Quinapril) affects you.

Pregnancy: ACE inhibitors such as Accupril (Quinapril) may cause severe harm or death to the developing baby if taken by the mother during pregnancy. Accupril (Quinapril) should not be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking Accupril (Quinapril), stop taking Accupril (Quinapril) immediately and contact your doctor.
