QUINAPRIL 5 mg
ORAL
PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Quinapril tablets USP are indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. These benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes including the class to which this drug principally belongs. There are no controlled trials demonstrating risk reduction with quinapril tablets USP. Control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake. Many patients will require more than one drug to achieve blood pressure goals. For specific advice on goals and management, see published guidelines, such as those of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program's Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and T

Quinapril hydrochloride is chemically described as [3S-[2[R*(R*)], 3R*]]-2-[2-[[1- (ethoxycarbonyl)-3- phenylpropyl]amino]-1-oxopropyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3- isoquinolinecarboxylic acid, monohydrochloride. Its empirical formula is C H N O •HCl and its structural formula is: Quinapril hydrochloride is a white to off-white amorphous powder that is freely soluble in aqueous solvents. Quinapril tablets USP contain 5 mg (equivalent to 5.416 mg Quinapril Hydrochloride), 10 mg (equivalent to 10.832 mg Quinapril Hydrochloride), 20 mg (equivalent to 21.664 mg Quinapril Hydrochloride), or 40 mg (equivalent to 43.328 mg Quinapril Hydrochloride) of quinapril for oral administration. Each film-coated tablet also contains crospovidone, iron oxide yellow, lecithin, magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, povidone, talc, titanium dioxide and xanthan gum. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY MECHANISM OF ACTION Quinapril is deesterified to the principal metabolite, quinaprilat, which is an inhibitor of ACE activity in human subjects and animals. ACE is a peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II. The effect of quinapril in hypertension and in congestive heart failure (CHF) appears to result primarily from the inhibition of circulating and tissue ACE activity, thereby reducing angiotensin II formation. Quinapril inhibits the elevation in blood pressure caused by intravenously administered angiotensin I, but has no e Lue koko asiakirja
