Benazepril

Uses

Benazepril is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), the prevention of heart attack and stroke, and heart failure.

How it Works

How Benazepril works Benazepril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It functions by reducing stress on the heart and relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and enabling the heart to pump blood more efficiently.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Benazepril include cough and headache.

Expert Advice

  • Benazepril may cause dizziness during the initial days of treatment; therefore, rise slowly after sitting or lying down.
  • Consider taking it at bedtime to minimize dizziness throughout the day.
  • Notify your doctor if you experience any persistent cough or throat irritation.
  • Benazepril may increase potassium levels in the blood; avoid potassium supplements and potassium-rich foods such as bananas and broccoli.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • You have been prescribed Benazepril to improve blood pressure.
  • Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of future heart attacks and strokes.
  • It may also be used to treat chronic (long-standing) heart failure.
  • Benazepril helps protect kidney function, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes or mild-to-moderate kidney disease.
