Why is Accupril prescribed?
Accupril is a blood pressure medicine used for people who suffer from high blood pressure. 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.
If you want to see the positive effects of Accupril, you must take it regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Accupril; and you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well.
How do I use Accupril?
You can take Accupril with your stomach full or empty. Avoid taking alcohol while taking this medicine; it may increase the effect of Accupril and could cause dizziness or fainting.
Take Accupril exactly as prescribed, and see your doctor regularly to make sure the mediation is working properly without unwanted side effects. Do not stop taking this drug without first consulting your doctor.
If you forget a dose of Accupril, take the forgotten dose of Accupril as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never try to "catch up" by doubling the dose.
