Although there is currently no cure for
high blood pressure, medications like
benazepril-hydrochloride and
hydrochlorothiazide (
Lotensin HCT®) can help. It works by allowing the blood vessels to relax and by causing the kidneys to remove more salt and water from the blood in order to reduce blood volume.
This medication comes in tablet form and is taken once a day. Benazepril-hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) may be taken with or without food, but it should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level in your bloodstream. Side effects are possible and may include dizziness, cough, and fatigue.
