WHAT ARROW - QUINAPRIL IS USED FOR
ARROW - QUINAPRIL is used to lower high blood pressure (hypertension).
It
is also used to treat heart failure.
HYPERTENSION
ARROW – QUINAPRIL is used to lower high blood pressure
(hypertension).
Everyone has blood pressure. This pressure helps get your blood all
around
your body.
Your blood pressure may be different at different times of the day,
depending
on how busy or worried you are. You have hypertension (high blood
pressure)
when your blood pressure stays higher than is needed even when you are
calm and relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing
that you have hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked on a
regular basis. If high blood pressure is not treated it can lead to
serious
health problems, including stroke, heart disease and kidney failure.
HEART FAILURE
Heart failure means that the heart muscle cannot pump blood strongly
enough
to supply all the blood needed throughout the body. Heart failure is
not the
same as heart attack and does not mean that the heart stops.
Heart failure may start off with no symptoms, but as the condition
progresses,
patients may feel short of breath or may get tired easily after light
physical
activity such as walking. Some patients may wake up short of breath at
night.
Fluid may collect in different parts of the body, often first noticed
as swollen
ankles and feet.

The recommended initial dosage of quinapril in patients not on

(by doubling the dose) to a
maintenance dosage of 20 mg to 40 mg/day given as a single dose or
divided into two doses.
Generally dosage adjustments should be made at intervals of four
weeks. Long-term control is

Patients have been treated with
dosages of quinapril up to 80 mg/day.

dosage of quinapril should not exceed

dosage should subsequently be
titrated (as described above) to the optimal response
