Get Lotrel Online

Lotrel is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It combines amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and benazepril, an ACE inhibitor, to lower blood pressure through two complementary mechanisms.

Amlodipine relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessel walls, allowing them to widen and reducing the force the heart must exert. Benazepril blocks the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, further lowering blood pressure.

Many patients see a meaningful reduction in blood pressure within one to two weeks of starting Lotrel, though the full therapeutic effect may take several weeks. Regular monitoring helps your physician confirm the dose is working correctly.

Common side effects include ankle swelling (edema), a persistent dry cough (related to the benazepril component), dizziness, and fatigue. Contact your doctor if you experience significant swelling of the face, lips, or throat, as this may indicate a rare but serious reaction called angioedema.

Lotrel should not be taken by people who are pregnant, have a history of angioedema related to ACE inhibitor use, or are taking aliskiren with diabetes. Your physician will review your full medical history before prescribing.

Sometimes physicians prescribe Lotrel alongside other antihypertensive agents, such as a diuretic, to achieve better blood pressure control. However, combining it with certain medications can increase the risk of low blood pressure or elevated potassium. Always share your full medication list with your physician.
