Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily through them. Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor that works by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the amount of water and salt in the body, which also helps to lower blood pressure.
Amlodipine/benazepril is available in tablet form and is typically taken once a day. The dosage may vary depending on the patient’s condition and medical history.
Common side effects of amlodipine/benazepril include dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, cough, and swelling in the legs or feet. It is important to tell your doctor if you experience any side effects while taking this medication.
Amlodipine/benazepril may interact with other medications, including diuretics, potassium supplements, and NSAIDs. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, before starting treatment with amlodipine/benazepril.
It is also important to avoid alcohol while taking amlodipine/benazepril, as it can increase the risk of certain side effects.
If you miss a dose of amlodipine/benazepril, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
If you suspect an overdose of amlodipine/benazepril, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms may include dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting.
