Accupril is used in the treatment of high blood pressure. It can be taken alone or in combination with a thiazide type of diuretic (water pill) such as HydroDIURIL. Accupril is in a family of drugs known as ACE inhibitors. It works by preventing a chemical in your blood called angiotensin I from converting into a more potent form that increases salt and water retention in your body. Accupril also enhances blood flow throughout your blood vessels. Along with other drugs Accupril is also prescribed in the treatment of congestive heart failure.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

The usual starting dose is 10 or 20 milligrams taken once a day. If you have any problems with your kidneys or if you are also taking a diuretic your starting dose may be lower. For adults over age 65 the usual starting dose is 10 milligrams. Depending on how your blood pressure responds your doctor may increase your dose up to a total of 80 milligrams a day taken once a day or divided into two doses.

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE

The usual starting dose is 5 milligrams taken twice a day. Your doctor may increase the dose from week to week up to as much as 20 to 40 milligrams daily divided into 2 equal doses. If you have kidney problems the dosage may be lower.
