Accuprilis used to treat congestive hyper tension (high blood pressure) or heart failure in adults. It allows for the heart to pump more efficiently by relaxing the blood vessels so that blood can travel throughout the body with minimal resistance. Accupril is often referred to as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
