Accupril Uses  

Accupril is a prescription medicine that is used to regulate high blood pressure. It is also used to lower the risk of having heart failure, kidney failure, and stroke. This medicine can be used alone or be prescribed together with other medications.  

Having high blood pressure makes the heart pump harder and if it continues that way for a long time it may not function properly as well as the arteries which may lead to stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure. Accupril works to prevent these things to happen by blocking a substance called angiotensin which causes the blood vessels to tighten. This medicine keeps on relaxing and widening the blood vessels to lower the blood pressure and increase the supply of oxygen to the heart.
