About Quinapril (Generic Accupril)
How does it work?
Quinapril belongs to a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps them to widen. This lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload. It also helps the heart pump blood more efficiently, making it beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and heart failure.
What does it treat?
Quinapril is primarily used as a treatment for high blood pressure. It can also be prescribed to manage or treat heart failure and improve survival after a heart attack.
What forms does it come in?
This hypertension medicine comes as tablets you take by mouth once or twice a day. A licensed provider will determine your specific dosage based on your condition and response to treatment. To reduce the risk of side effects, they may have you start at a low dose and gradually increase your amount over time.
Quinapril vs. Accupril
Quinapril and Accupril are both blood pressure medications that contain Quinapril as their active ingredient. They work in the same way to treat hypertension and heart failure. Accupril is a brand version of Quinapril, so it may cost more than its generic counterpart.
How much will it cost?
Dr. B offers online consultations for $15—which is less than most copays. If a high blood pressure prescription is appropriate, your out-of-pocket medication cost will depend on your insurance and where you decide to get your prescription filled. With a drug discount card, prices for Quinapril 20 mg (30 tablets) start at $2.08.

How do you take this medication?

High blood pressure is a long-term (chronic) condition that can harm your organs. Medications for blood pressure are not a one-time cure. This medicine doesn't provide a complete cure for high blood pressure, so it's important to continue taking it, even if you start feeling better. If you stop taking it suddenly, this could cause dangerous problems, like heart attack or stroke. Follow your medical provider's instructions carefully.
Also, please keep in mind that it may take some time for this medication to achieve its full effect in managing your blood pressure. Don't be discouraged if you don't notice immediate changes. Continue taking your medication as prescribed, and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns.
What happens if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it’s almost time for your next dose, just skip it and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Don’t double up or take more medication to compensate for the missed amount.
What happens if I take too much?
Taking too much Quinapril can lower blood pressure too much, causing dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting. If you’ve taken too much, call your medical provider or local poison control center (800-222-1222) immediately.
