Amlodipine/benazepril marketed in the U.S. as Lotrel by Novartis and manufactured as a generic drug by Teva and Sandoz is an antihypertensive medication which combines a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine besilate) with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (benazepril). This drug like similar combinations is prescribed when either agent alone is not sufficient to bring a person’s blood pressure down to target range.
