Amlodipine Besylate and Benazepril Hydrochloride is a combination drug used for the treatment of hypertension in patients not adequately controlled on monotherapy with either agent. It works by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and blocking calcium channels, leading to decreased blood pressure. The drug has several key clinical findings and indications, including the treatment of hypertension, and has important safety information and contraindications, such as the risk of fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. The main dosing recommendations include an initial dose of 2.5/10 mg, with titration up to 10/40 mg once-daily. Special population considerations include use in pregnancy, pediatric use, and geriatric use.
