THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT
in Quinapril Tablets is quinapril (present as quinapril
hydrochloride). This
belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitors. ACE
inihibitors work by widening blood vessels in the body, which can
reduce the pressure in the vessels.
FOR THE OTHER INGREDIENTS IN QUINAPRIL TABLETS, (SEE SECTION 6.)
Quinapril is an ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure
(hypertension) and to help treat heart
failure.
Quinapril
is
effective
alone
or
together
with
water
tablets
(diuretics)
in
patients
with
hypertension. Quinapril can also be used for the treatment of heart
failure when given together with a
diuretic and/or cardiac glycoside such as digoxin.
Treatment of heart failure with quinapril should always be started
under close medical supervision.

HYPERTENSION
Monotherapy: The recommended initial dosage is 10 mg once daily in

patient's
dosage may be titrated (by doubling the dose allowing adequate time
for
dosage adjustment) to a maintenance dosage of 20 to 40 mg/day given as
a
single dose or divided into 2 doses. Long-term control is maintained
in most
patients with a single daily dosage regimen. Patients have been
treated with
dosages up to 80 mg/day.
Concomitant Diuretics: In order to determine if excess hypotension
will occur,
an initial dosage of 2.5 mg of Quinapril Tablets is recommended in
patients
who are being treated with a diuretic. After this the dosage of
Quinapril
Tablets should be titrated (as described above) to the optimal
response.
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
In order to closely monitor patients for symptomatic hypotension, a
single 2.5
mg initial dosage is recommended. After this, patients should be
titrated to an
effective dose: (up to 40 mg/day) g
