Imidapril, sold under the brand name Tanatril among others, is an ACE inhibitor used as an antihypertensive drug and for the treatment of chronic heart failure.
[3][4] Common adverse effects are similar to other antihypertensive drugs and include headache, vertigo, and drowsiness.
No interaction studies have been conducted except with digoxin, which slightly decreases imidapril levels, possibly because it reduces its absorption from the gut.
The effect of antidiabetic drugs can be increased, potentially causing hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels).
[3][4] About 70% of the ingested imidapril is absorbed quickly from the gut; this percentage is reduced significantly when taken with a fatty meal.
