ACE Inhibitor  What is quinapril?  A Answers (1)    • AStacy
Wiegman, PharmD, Pharmacy, answered     Quinapril, available
under the brand name Accupril, is a prescription medication used
to treat high blood pressure. The medication is an angiotensin-
converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor). Quinapril decreases
the presence of chemicals in the bloodstream that tighten blood
vessels. When these chemical are removed, the blood vessels
relax, blood can flow more easily, and there is less strain on
the heart to pump blood. While quinapril can control and lower
blood pressure, it is not a cure for high blood pressure or
heart disease. Quinapril only works as long as you take the
medication.      More Answers from Stacy Wiegman, PharmD  Did
