General information
Aceon belongs to a class of drugs known as ACE inhibitors. It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is also used to prevent heart attacks in patients with a certain type of heart disease (stable coronary artery disease). This medication may also be used to treat congestive heart failure and to help protect the kidneys from damage due to diabetes.
Directions
Take Aceon exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The recommended starting dosage for most people with high blood pressure (hypertension) is 4 mg once daily. The normal daily dose is 4 mg to 8 mg, either as a single dose or divided into two smaller doses (2 mg to 4 mg twice daily). If you have kidney disease or kidney failure, or if you are over the age of 65, your doctor may start you on a lower dose. The maximum recommended daily dose is 16 mg. Take it at the same time each day.
Precautions
Before taking Aceon you should talk with your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes, connective tissue disease (Marfan syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, lupus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis), diabetes, any allergies. This drug may make you dizzy. Do not drive or perform tasks that require alertness. Limit alcoholic beverages. Alcohol can lower your blood pressure and may increase some of the side effects. To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position. The elderly may be more sensitive to the effects of this drug.
