MOEXIPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE vs NATURETIN-2.5
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Moexipril is an ACE inhibitor that inhibits the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule, increasing diuresis and reducing plasma volume.
Bendroflumethiazide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, reducing sodium and chloride reabsorption and promoting diuresis.
One tablet (7.5 mg moexipril / 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide or 15 mg moexipril / 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide) orally once daily.
Hypertension: 2.5 mg orally once daily; may increase to 5 mg daily if needed. Edema: 2.5 to 10 mg orally once daily.

Moexiprilat (active metabolite) terminal half-life is approximately 2–9 hours (mean ~9 hours in hypertension; prolonged in renal impairment). Hydrochlorothiazide terminal half-life is 6–15 hours (mean ~9 hours; prolonged in renal impairment). Clinical context: Twice-daily dosing may be needed for 24-hour BP control; renal impairment requires dose adjustment.
Terminal elimination half-life: 6-9 hours; prolonged in renal impairment and in elderly patients.
Moexipril is eliminated primarily by renal excretion (about 50% as unchanged drug and metabolites) and biliary/fecal excretion (about 50%). Hydrochlorothiazide is eliminated largely unchanged by renal excretion (≥95% via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion).
Renal excretion: approximately 95% as unchanged drug; biliary/fecal: <5%.
