What Is Amlodipine/Benazepril HCL 5/20mg?
Amlodipine/benazepril HCL 5/20mg (brand name Lotrel) is a prescription capsule that contains two blood pressure medicines in one. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, and benazepril is an ACE inhibitor that reduces substances in the body that narrow blood 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.
