WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS
USED FOR
Quinapril is used to lower high blood
pressure (also known as
hypertension) and treat heart failure.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE:
Everyone has blood pressure. Blood
pressure helps to move your blood all
around your body. Your blood
pressure may be different at different
times of the day and may be affected
by how busy or worried you are. You
have 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
high blood pressure. The only way of
knowing that you have high blood
pressure 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 is weak and 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.
