Lotrel (Generic name: Amlodipine Besylate and Benazepril Hydrochloride) is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lotrel medication is a combination of two drugs, a calcium channel blocker (Amlodipine Besylate) and an ACE inhibitor (Benazepril HCl). It works by relaxing blood vessels effectively making them wider. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems. Take Lotrel exactly as it was prescribed for you.

If you are experiencing any severe side effects such as chest pain, decreased sex ability, fainting, fever, jaundice, urination problems, vision changes, or symptoms of an allergic reaction (e.g., difficult breathing; hives; rash; swelling), please inform your doctor immediately.
