Accuretic contains two active ingredients: quinapril and hydrochlorothiazide. It is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

High Blood Pressure

Accuretic helps lower blood pressure when one medication alone is not enough to control it.

Lowering high blood pressure can help reduce the risk of serious health problems such as:

  • Stroke
  • Heart attack
  • Heart disease
  • Kidney damage

How Accuretic Works

Accuretic combines two types of blood pressure medication.

Quinapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE inhibitor. It helps relax and widen blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic, sometimes called a water pill. It helps your kidneys remove extra salt and water from the body.

Together, these medications help lower blood pressure and reduce the amount of work your heart has to do.

Important Note

Accuretic is used to control high blood pressure, but it does not cure it.

Continue taking it as prescribed even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms.

Accuretic is taken by mouth, usually once daily.

You may take it with or without food.

Because Accuretic contains hydrochlorothiazide, a water pill, it may make you urinate more often. Taking it earlier in the day can help reduce the chance of needing to urinate during the night.

Take It at the Same Time Each Day

Try to take Accuretic at about the same time every day.

Taking it regularly helps keep your blood pressure under control.

Continue taking Accuretic even if you feel well. High blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms.

Usual Starting Dose

The dose of Accuretic depends on your current blood pressure treatment and how well you respond.

A commonly used strength is:

10 mg quinapril / 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide once daily

Your healthcare provider may adjust your dose based on your blood pressure, kidney function, electrolyte levels, and response to treatment.

Maximum Dose

Doses may be increased up to a total of 40 mg of quinapril and 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide once daily, when appropriate.

Do not increase or decrease your dose unless your healthcare provider tells you to.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a dose of Accuretic, take it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for a missed dose.

Important Dosing Advice

Take Accuretic exactly as prescribed.

Do not take extra tablets to lower your blood pressure faster.

Your healthcare provider may check your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels while you are taking Accuretic.

Pregnancy

Do not use Accuretic during pregnancy.

Accuretic contains quinapril, an ACE inhibitor that can cause serious injury or death to a developing baby.

If you become pregnant while taking Accuretic, contact your healthcare provider right away. The medication should generally be stopped as soon as pregnancy is detected.

Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.

Both quinapril and hydrochlorothiazide can pass into breast milk.

Because of the potential for serious side effects in a nursing baby, your healthcare provider may recommend stopping Accuretic or stopping breastfeeding, depending on your treatment needs.

Alcohol

Alcohol can increase some of the blood-pressure-lowering effects of Accuretic.

This may make you more likely to experience:

  • Dizziness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Fainting

Limit or avoid alcohol until you know how Accuretic affects you.

Drug Interactions

Tell your healthcare provider about all medications, vitamins, and supplements you take.

Accuretic may interact with medications such as:

  • Other blood pressure medications
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen
  • Lithium
  • Potassium supplements or potassium-containing salt substitutes
  • Certain diuretics
  • Aliskiren
  • Sacubitril/valsartan

Some combinations may increase the risk of low blood pressure, kidney problems, or abnormal potassium levels.

Angioedema

Do not use Accuretic if you have previously developed angioedema from an ACE inhibitor.

Angioedema can cause sudden swelling of the:

  • Face
  • Lips
  • Tongue
  • Throat

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop swelling or difficulty breathing or swallowing while taking Accuretic.

Sacubitril/Valsartan

Do not take Accuretic within 36 hours before or after taking a medication that contains sacubitril, such as sacubitril/valsartan.

Using these medications too close together can increase the risk of serious angioedema.

Aliskiren and Diabetes

If you have diabetes, do not take Accuretic together with a medication that contains aliskiren.

This combination can increase the risk of low blood pressure, high potassium levels, and kidney problems.

Problems With Urination

Do not take Accuretic if you are unable to produce urine, a condition called anuria.

Hydrochlorothiazide works through the kidneys and should not be used in people with anuria.

Sulfonamide Allergy

Accuretic contains hydrochlorothiazide, which is a sulfonamide-derived medication.

Do not use Accuretic if you have had a serious hypersensitivity reaction to hydrochlorothiazide or another sulfonamide-derived drug.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a dose of Accuretic, take it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra tablets to make up for the missed dose.

Can Accuretic be used for conditions other than high blood pressure?

Accuretic is approved to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is generally used when treatment with quinapril or hydrochlorothiazide alone is not enough to control blood pressure. Do not use Accuretic for another condition unless your healthcare provider specifically recommends it.

How long does it take for Accuretic to start working?

Accuretic may begin lowering your blood pressure within the first few hours after a dose. However, it can take several weeks to see the full effect. Take Accuretic every day as prescribed, even if you feel well. Your healthcare provider may check your blood pressure and adjust your dose if needed.

How should I store Accuretic?

Store Accuretic at room temperature, away from excess heat and moisture. Keep the medication in its original container and out of the reach of children and pets. Do not store it in a bathroom or another damp area.

Can Accuretic interact with food or drinks?

You may take Accuretic with or without food. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice are not known to cause a clinically important interaction with Accuretic. However, talk to your healthcare provider before using potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes, or large amounts of high-potassium products. You should also use caution with alcohol because it may increase dizziness or lower your blood pressure. Accuretic can also affect potassium levels, so your healthcare provider may monitor these during treatment.
