| ====Nursing Mothers====
| |
| | |
| It is not known whether moexipril or moexiprilat is excreted in human milk. [[Thiazides]] are excreted in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from hydrochlorothiazide and the unknown effects of moexipril or moexiprilat in infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue Moexipril HCl and [[Hydrochlorothiazide]] Tablets, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

| ====Pediatric Use====
| |
| | |
| Safety and effectiveness of Moexipril HCl and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets in pediatric patients have not been established.
| |
| | |
| ====Geriatric Use====
| |
| | |
| Of the patients who received Moexipril HCl and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets in controlled clinical studies, 24% were 65 years of age or older. No overall differences in effectiveness or safety were observed between these patients and younger patients. In elderly patients receiving moexipril, plasma levels of drug are slightly higher and renal clearance is reduced when compared to younger patients, but these effects did not have detectable consequences. Hydrochlorothiazide is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.<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>
