About this active substance

Benazepril is a medication used for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. It is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, as directed by a doctor. The dosage is adjusted based on the patient's response and the severity of the condition.

Common side effects include dizziness, dry cough, fatigue, and nausea. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as angioedema or kidney failure may occur.

Benazepril is not recommended for pregnant women, especially during the second and third trimesters, as it may affect fetal development. Patients should inform their doctor about all medications they are taking to avoid drug interactions.
