Correct Answer: A,B,C,D,E
Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, C, D, and E. Quinapril is an ACE inhibitor, which commonly causes angioedema (
A), dry non-productive cough (
B), hyperkalemia (
C), first dose phenomenon (
D), and hypotension (E). Angioedema is a serious side effect that can occur with ACE inhibitors. Dry cough is a common adverse effect due to the accumulation of bradykinin. ACE inhibitors can also lead to hyperkalemia due to the inhibition of aldosterone. First dose phenomenon, characterized by a significant decrease in blood pressure after the first dose, is also associated with ACE inhibitors. Hypotension is a common side effect due to the vasodilatory effects of ACE inhibitors. Hypertension (F) is not a side effect of quinapril but the condition it is used to treat.
