AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
UNIVASC (moexipril hydrochloride) is an oral ACE inhibitor prodrug approved in 1995 for hypertension management. It works by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), reducing angiotensin II formation and lowering blood pressure through decreased vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. The drug is a small-molecule tablet with established efficacy, though effectiveness is notably lower in Black patients due to population-level differences in renin-angiotensin system activity.
