FDA recalls Quinapril linked to Cancer

Quinapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, which works by blocking the action of a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to narrow. This helps to relax the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to protect the kidneys in people with diabetes.

Like all medications, quinapril can cause side effects in some people. These can include dizziness, fatigue, and dry cough. However, there is new evidence to suggest that quinapril causes cancer or increases the risk of developing cancer.

FDA has issued a recall notice for Quinapril citing cancer risk.

It is always important to discuss any concerns about medications with a healthcare provider. They can provide more information about the potential risks and benefits of quinapril and help determine the best treatment plan for an individual.
