Quinapril is a medication used for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure. It belongs to the class of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and works by relaxing blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving heart function.
The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, and should be used as directed by your doctor. It is important to regularly monitor blood pressure during treatment.
Side effects may include dizziness, dry cough, fatigue, or, in rare cases, severe allergic reactions or kidney failure.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as kidney disease or diabetes, to ensure the safe use of quinapril.
