What is Accupril?

Accupril (quinapril) is an ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It works by decreasing certain chemicals and relaxing your blood vessels and decreasing blood volume so that blood can flow more easily. Accupril may be used alone or alongside other medications.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and use Accupril exactly as prescribed.

• Take with or without food.
• Continue using this medication even if you feel well.
• You may be easily dehydrated while taking Accupril. Take care to stay hydrated and call your doctor if you have excessive sweating, ongoing vomiting or diarrhea.

Don’t use Accupril if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Avoid Accupril within 36 hours of taking medicine that contains sacubatril.

If you have diabetes, do not take Accupril together with medications that contain aliskiren (Tekturna, Tekamlo).

Before taking Accupril, inform your doctor if you have any of the following:

• Kidney or liver disease
• Connective tissue diseases (Marfan syndrome, Sjogren’s syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma)
• Heart disease or congestive heart failure, unless you’re taking Accupril specifically for this condition
• A low salt diet

Tell your doctor about any other medication you take, especially:

• Lithium
• NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen, meloxicam, celecoxib, diclofenac)
• Diuretics (water pills)
• Gold injections

Common side effects of Accupril include:

• Headache
• Dizziness
• Tiredness
• Cough

Contact your doctor if you experience these more serious side effects:

• Feeling light headed or passing out
• Fast heartbeats or fluttering in your chest
• Producing little or no urine, pain or burning during urination
• Jaundice
• Numbness, tingling, or burning in hands or feet
• Low sodium levels – confusion, headache, weakness, vomiting, loss of coordination, slurred speech
• High potassium – weakness, nausea, slow heart rate, loss of movement

Can I drink alcohol while taking Accupril?

Drinking alcohol can lower your blood pressure, and may increase side effects of Accupril like dizziness and tiredness. Use alcohol carefully and inform your doctor of any adverse effects.

Which painkillers are safe to use while on Accupril?

Most NSAID drugs aren’t safe for people with high blood pressure to take, and may interfere with how ACE inhibitors like Accupril work. Ask your doctor about a suitable replacement for these drugs.
