IMPORTANT WARNING:  

Why is this medication prescribed?  

Moexipril is used to treat high blood pressure. It decreases certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly.

This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

How should this medicine be used?  

Moexipril comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once or twice a day and should be taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take moexipril exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Moexipril controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take moexipril even if you feel well. Do not stop taking moexipril without talking to your doctor.
