For heart failure, or treatment with QUINAPRIL plus a diuretic, the starting dose is usually 2.5 mg, which may be increased up to 10 to 40 mg a day.
Occasionally, some people need higher doses than this. Whatever dose you have been prescribed, follow your doctor's instructions exactly and never change the dose yourself.
