Medical Monday: Lotrel
According to Drugs.com, Lotrel “contains a combination of amlodipine and benazepril. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Amlodipine relaxes (widens) blood vessels and improves blood flow.
Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Benazepril also widens blood vessels and also prevents the body from retaining water.
Lotrel is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).”
