ACCURETIC is a combination of a medicine called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and a water tablet (diuretic).

ACCURETIC is used to lower high blood pressure (hypertension). Everyone has blood pressure. This pressure helps get your blood all around your body. Your blood pressure may be different at different times of the day, depending on how busy or worried you are. You have hypertension (high blood pressure) when your blood pressure stays higher than is needed, even when you are calm and relaxed.

There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing that you have hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. If high blood pressure is not treated it can lead to serious health problems, including stroke, heart disease and kidney failure.

ACCURETIC works by widening your blood vessels, which reduces pressure in the vessels, making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.

ACCURETIC also works by making your kidneys pass more water and salt and retain more potassium. This helps reduce high blood pressure.

Your doctor may have prescribed ACCURETIC for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why ACCURETIC has been prescribed for you.

ACCURETIC is not addictive.

This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription.

Dostinex may be prescribed by your doctor to reduce your body's level of a hormone known as prolactin. Dostinex may be needed if your levels of prolactin are abnormally high (hyperprolactinaemia).

Abnormally high prolactin may cause menstrual changes in women, impotence in men and breast changes in both sexes.

Dostinex can also be prescribed to prevent the production of milk in women after birth, if breast-feeding is to be prevented for medical reasons.
