Lotensin (benazepril)
Lotensin (Benazepril) belongs to the class of medications called ACE inhibitors. Lotensin is used for the treatment of high blood pressure. Lotensin works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload of the heart. Benazepril may be used in addition to diuretics (water pills) known as thiazide diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide) when one medication has not been found to control blood pressure satisfactorily.
Benazepril
Benazepril HCl is a white to off-white crystalline powder, soluble (>100 mg/ml) in water, in ethanol, and in methanol. Benazeprilat, the active metabolite of benazepril, is a non-sulfhydryl Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. Benazepril is converted to Benazeprilat by hepatic cleavage of the ester group. Lotensin is supplied as tablets containing 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg of benazepril for oral administration. The inactive ingredients are cellulose compounds, colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, hydrogenated castor oil (5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg tablets), iron oxides, lactose, magnesium stearate (40 mg tablets), polysorbate 80, propylene glycol (5 mg and 40 mg tablets), starch, talc, and titanium dioxide.
