Benazepril, sold under the brand name Lotensin among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and diabetic kidney disease.[1] It is a reasonable initial treatment for high blood pressure.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1] Versions are available as the combinations benazepril/hydrochlorothiazide and benazepril/amlodipine.[1]

Common side effects include feeling tired, dizziness, cough, and light-headedness with standing.[1] Serious side effects may include kidney problems, low blood pressure, high blood potassium, and angioedema.[1] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby while use when breastfeeding maybe okay.[4] It is an ACE inhibitor and works by decreasing renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activity.[1]

Benazepril was patented in 1981 and came into medical use in 1990.[5] It is available as a generic medication.[1] A month supply in the United States costs about US$1.32 as of 2019.[6] In 2017, it was the 104th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than seven million prescriptions.[7][8]
