What is Quinapril/HCTZ and what is it used for:
Quinapril/HCTZ is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: quinapril, an ACE inhibitor, and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a diuretic. It is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients who require both medications.
How to take Quinapril/HCTZ:
Quinapril/HCTZ is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It may take several weeks for the full benefits of the medication to be felt. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as suddenly stopping quinapril/HCTZ can cause a rapid increase in blood pressure.
Possible side effects of Quinapril/HCTZ:
Quinapril/HCTZ may cause some side effects, including:
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Fatigue or weakness
Dry cough
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Headache
Increased urination
Photosensitivity (sensitivity to sunlight)
Rash or itching
Impotence or decreased libido
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Quinapril/HCTZ:
Before taking quinapril/HCTZ, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as kidney or liver disease, diabetes, or gout. Quinapril/HCTZ may interact with certain medications, including other blood pressure medications, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and lithium. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Quinapril/HCTZ may cause fetal harm and is not recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It may also pass into breast milk, so it is important to consult your doctor before taking quinapril/HCTZ while breastfeeding.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking quinapril/HCTZ. Accuretic (Quinapril/HCTZ) is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
