Temocapril Hydrochloride is a long-acting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, used for the treatment of hypertension. Target: ACETemocapril hydrochloride is a novel prodrug-type angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, lowering of the dose of temocapril might be recommended only in patients with severe renal insufficiency [1]. Temocapril is regarded as an ACE inhibitor the disposition and efficacy of which are little affected in patients with impaired liver function [2].
