Yes. Amlodipine/benazepril HCL is the generic version of the brand-name drug Lotrel. Both contain the same active ingredients in the same strengths and are held to the same FDA standards.

What Is Amlodipine/Benazepril HCL 10/20mg?

Amlodipine/benazepril HCL 10 /20mg (brand name Lotrel) is a prescription capsule that combines two blood pressure medicines in one. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, and benazepril is an ACE inhibitor that blocks a hormone pathway that narrows vessels. Together they lower blood pressure more effectively than either drug alone for many patients. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack.

High blood pressure (hypertension)
Hypertension not controlled by amlodipine alone
Hypertension not controlled by benazepril or another ACE inhibitor alone
Initial therapy when multiple drugs are likely needed to reach blood pressure goals
Reducing long-term risk of stroke and heart attack through blood pressure control
