Indications
Lotrel is a combination of two drugs, a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine) and an ACE inhibitor (benazepril). It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
How It Works
Lotrel works by relaxing blood vessels, causing them to widen. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems.

Available oral tablet sizes (amlodipine/benazepril): 5mg/10mg
Amlodipine is an effective treatment of hypertension in once-daily doses of 2.5-10 mg while benazepril is effective in doses of 10-80 mg. The exact amount you should take is dependent on your response to each individual medication and a doctor’s recommendation.
Renal Impairment
Regimens of therapy with Lotrel need not take account of renal function as long as the patient's creatinine clearance is > 30 mL/min/1.73m² (serum creatinine roughly ≤ 3 mg/dL or 265 μmol/L).
Hepatic Impairment and Elderly Patients
The recommended initial dose of amlodipine, as monotherapy or as a component of combination therapy, is 2.5 mg.
