Quinaretic


Generic Name: Quinapril/Hydrochlorothiazide (KWIN-uh-PRILL/HIGH-droe-klor-THIGH-uh-zide)
Brand Name: Accuretic and Quinaretic

Quinaretic is used for:

Treating high blood pressure. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Quinaretic is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and thiazide diuretic combination. It works by causing blood vessels to relax (widen) and increasing the excretion of excess fluid, which lowers blood pressure.

  • you have severe kidney problems or a history of angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, throat, or tongue) caused by treatment with a similar medication
  • you are taking dextran sulfate, dofetilide, or ketanserin

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
