| ==Indications and Usage==
| |
| | |
| Moexipril hydrochloride is indicated for treatment of patients with [[hypertension]]. It may be used alone or in combination with [[thiazide]] diuretics.
| |
| | |
| In using moexipril hydrochloride, consideration should be given to the fact that another ACE inhibitor, [[captopril]], has caused [[agranulocytosis]], particularly in patients with renal impairment or collagen-vascular disease. Available data are insufficient to show that moexipril hydrochloride does not have a similar risk.

| | |
| In considering use of moexipril hydrochloride, it should be noted that in controlled trials ACE inhibitors have an effect on blood pressure that is less in black patients than in non-blacks. In addition, ACE inhibitors (for which adequate data are available) cause a higher rate of [[angioedema]] in black than in non-black patients.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web | last = | first = | title = MOEXIPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE TABLET [APOTEX CORP.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=d18108f5-98ca-1220-d145-bcf4e71ceaee | publisher = | date = | accessdate = }}</ref>
