Quinapril FAQ

Seafood Allergy from Blood Pressure Medication?

My father's doctor recently changed his blood pressure medication. He's now taking Quinapril (used to take Altace for 30 years)... he's been a seafood lover all his life and never had any problems eating any type of seafood, but now, (coincidentally??) since his med has been changed, he can't eat crabs without getting a runny nose, or sick in the stomach... could it be the med?

How do Quinapril, Istin and Bendrofluazide tablets work?

I have been on blood preassure tablets (Quinapril and Istin) for a whilw now. I know now that my blood preassure is fine, so can I quit taking those tablets now, or will it do me more harm if I stop taking them?

The medication I am on at the moment is: Bendrofuazide 2.5mg Phenytoin 100mg Quinapril 20mg Amlodapine 10mg If I was to stop taking any of these tablets, how would I be affected?

Does anyone here take amplodapine, phenytoin,bendrofluazide or quinapril tablets. If so, have you ever stopped taking any of them without your doctors advice, and if you have, what effect did it have on you?
