What is Accuretic (Quinapril Hydrochloride) used for?

Accuretic (Quinapril HCL) is an oral ACE inhibitor prescribed to treat patients suffering from heart failure or hypertension. The medication dilates the blood vessels in the body to allow easier circulation and reduce the amount of work required by the heart to pump the blood. This can reduce the occurrence of headaches, agitation, faintness, or other symptoms associated with these conditions. Your doctor may prescribe it to be used along with other medications or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Accuretic (Quinapril Hydrochloride)?

Always use Accuretic (Quinapril HCL) strictly according to your doctor`s instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. The normal dosage is one tablet taken once or twice each day, but your particular directions will be based on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is recommended prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not split, chew, or crush the tablets prior to use as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
