Summary
ACE inhibitors may modestly enhance glycemic lowering when used with antidiabetic agents. Liraglutide alone rarely causes hypoglycemia, so the clinical effect is generally small, but gastrointestinal fluid loss from liraglutide can also affect renal function with ACE inhibitors.
What this interaction means in plain words
Liraglutide and Moexipril have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Liraglutide belongs to Endocrine; Moexipril belongs to Cardiovascular.
Why it happens
Possible improvement in insulin sensitivity with ACE inhibition; the mechanism is not firmly established.
What to do
Monitor glucose when starting moexipril. Monitor renal function if vomiting or diarrhea occurs on liraglutide.
