  • Description


Why is Lotrel prescribed?

Amlodipine and Benazepril (Lotrel) is prescribed to treat symptoms of hypertension (high blood pressure). It is given to patients when the use of Amlodipine or Benazepril alone is not able to control their blood pressure.

What does it do?

Hypertension is a medical condition wherein the force that the blood exerts on the walls of your blood vessels is too high. When hypertension is not treated, it can lead to problems such as heart diseases, heart attacks, stroke, and kidney problems.

Lotrel consists of Amlodipine and Benazepril and they control blood pressure in different mechanisms. Amlodipine is classified as a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the blood vessels allowing blood to flow more easily. Benazepril is classified as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and it inhibits the release of substances that tighten the blood vessels and it also prevents water retention which causes high blood pressure. Incorporating a healthy diet and regular exercise in your lifestyle while taking Lotrel will be beneficial to control your blood pressure.

How should I take it?

Lotrel is available as a 5mg/10mg or 10mg/20mg tablet. It is intended for oral administration and should be swallowed as a whole, with or without food. Do not crush, chew, break it in half, or tamper the tablet in any way. Take it with a full glass of water at the same time every day.

Follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Lotrel. Only take the dose prescribed by your doctor and do not make alterations in the dosage or frequency. Lotrel is not able to treat hypertension and only helps in controlling your blood pressure. Do not stop taking Lotrel even if you feel well unless your doctor tells you.

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for any concerns you may have in taking Lotrel.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose, take a dose immediately once you remember it. However, if the time for your next dose is near, skip the missed dose and take it at your regular schedule. Do not take two doses to make up for a missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Lotrel?

Before taking Amlodipine and Benazepril, inform your doctor if you are allergic to Amlodipine and Benazepril, medications that belong in the same category, or any other type of medication.

If you are taking Aliskiren or Sacubitril, inform your doctor to determine whether the use of Amlodipine and Benazepril is appropriate for you.

Canadian Prescription Drug Store dispenses medications from our fully licensed and independently verified pharmacy partners around the world from Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, India, Turkey, and Singapore.

Legal disclaimer: The FDA, due to the current state of their regulations, has taken the position that virtually all shipments of prescription drugs imported from a Canadian online pharmacy by a U.S. consumer will violate the law. However, many legal experts disagree with the FDA's position in this regard stating that such importation is permitted under certain federal and state laws. Several State governments and consumer rights groups actively promote the importation of medications. The FDA itself provides the public information on how to import medications safely. Furthermore, there is no record of any US individual being prosecuted by the FDA for importing non-controlled prescription drugs for their personal use.
