Substance: moexipril (antihypertensive)
ATC: C09AA13 (Cardiovascular system | Ace inhibitors, plain)
Moexipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used for the treatment of high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels, leading to lower blood pressure and reduced workload on the heart.
The medication is taken orally, usually once daily before meals, with the dose adjusted based on the patient's response. Common side effects include dizziness, dry cough, fatigue, and nausea.
Moexipril is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to ACE inhibitors, a history of angioedema, or severe renal impairment. Its use during pregnancy is strictly prohibited.
This medication is an effective option for controlling blood pressure, helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack or stroke.
