What is benazepril?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Anti-Hypertensive: Benazepril is an "ace-inhibitor", which is a fancy term for a medication primarily used for high blood pressure. It functions by inhibiting a step in the pathway used by the body to increase blood pressure and blood volume. The medication can be used for other things such as kidney protection, and congestive heart failure.
