What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE INHIBACE (cilazapril) is indicated in the treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension. INHIBACE may be used alone or in combination with thiazide-type diuretics. INHIBACE is also indicated in the treatment of congestive heart failure as an adjunctive therapy with digitalis and/or diuretics. In using INHIBACE consideration should be given to the risk of angioedema (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS). Hypertension INHIBACE should normally be used in those patients in whom treatment with a diuretic or a beta-blocker was found ineffective or has been associated with unacceptable adverse effects. INHIBACE can also be tried as an initial agent in those patients in whom use of diuretics and/or beta-blockers is contraindicated or in patients with medical conditions in which these drugs frequently cause serious adverse effects. The safety and efficacy of INHIBACE in renovascular hypertension has not been established and therefore, its use in this condition is not recommended.
