May support cilazapril for BP control across renal function; leaves open dosing guidance and safety in impairment.
Does cilazapril effectively lower blood pressure and how do its pharmacokinetics differ in hypertensive patients with normal versus impaired renal function?
Cilazapril provides effective 24-hour blood pressure control in hypertensive patients, though its active metabolite accumulates more in those with impaired renal function.
