Other notable prescription drugs listed as potentially having a major impact on causing or worsening heart failure include the antihypertensive drugs diltiazem, verapamil, and
moxonidine, the tumor necrosis factor inhibitors that are widely used to treat rheumatologic and gastroenterologic diseases, the antipsychotic clozapine, and a long list of anticancer medications, including several anthracyclines and many types of newer biologic agents.

His daily treatment was fenofibrate,
moxonidine, metformin, and enoxaparin 60 mg.
A [beta]-blocker followed by a long-acting [alpha]-blocker or a centrally acting sympatholytic-like
moxonidine is a rational strategy.
