Accuzide Forte 20 mg | | Quinapril and Hydrochlorothiazide for Hypertension

Accuzide Forte 20 mg is a prescription medication formulated to effectively manage high blood pressure (hypertension). This tablet combines two powerful ingredients: Quinapril, an ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) inhibitor, and Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic (water pill). Together, they work synergistically to relax blood vessels and reduce fluid retention, helping to lower blood pressure and reduce the strain on the heart.
