Moexipril, sold under the brand name Univasc among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and diabetic kidney disease. It can be given alone or with other medications. It is taken by mouth. Effects begin within an hour and last about a day.

Common side effects include cough, dizziness, tiredness, rash, and muscle pain. Other side effects may include angioedema, high potassium, low blood pressure, and kidney problems. Use in pregnancy may harm the baby. It is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor).

Moexipril was patented in 1980 and approved for medical use in 1995. It is available as a generic medication. In the United States 3 months of 15 mg per day costs about 33 USD. It appears to work less well in Black people.
