Warnings and Precautions about Lotensin (Benazepril)

If you have any medical conditions or serious diseases, you need to visit your pharmacist prior to intake of Lotensin (Benazepril).

You should necessarily be aware that almost every drug may cause side effects if it is taken by wrong schedule, or you have allergic reaction to it.

Nevertheless, most recepients do not face any side effects. Lotensin (Benazepril) is a safe and effective medication that is used to improve condition of patients suffering from high blood pressure.

The most common by-effects are:

Lotensin is generally well tolerated and side effects are usually mild and transient. A dry, persistent cough has been reported with the use of lotensin and other ACE inhibitors. Coughing resolves after discontinuing the medication. Other side effects are rare and include difficulty breathing; severe dizziness or fainting; fatigue; easy bruising or bleeding; loss of taste; numbness or tingling in the hands or feet; nausea and vomiting; constipation; headache; loss of appetite; diarrhea; fever; rash; chest pain; dizziness; a sore or swollen throat; chills; and abdominal pain. In rare instances, liver dysfunction and skin yellowing (jaundice) have been reported with ACE inhibitors.

Lotensin should not be taken by people with a known allergy to ACE inhibitors. Swelling of the facial tissues and even the upper airways has been reported with ACE inhibitors on very rare occasions, and can lead to serious breathing difficulties. Lotensin can interact with diuretics (water pills) and other blood pressure medicines to cause an excessive drop in blood pressure, which can result in symptoms of weakness, dizziness, and lightheadedness. Worsening of kidney function has been reported with ACE inhibitors, especially in patients with severe heart failure or pre-existing kidney disease. Combining lotensin with potassium supplements, potassium containing salt substitutes, and potassium conserving diuretics such as amiloride (Moduretic), spironolactone (Aldactone), and triamterene (Dyazide, Maxzide), can lead to dangerously high blood levels of potassium. Indomethacin (Indocin) and possibly other anti-inflammatory medications may decrease the blood pressure lowering effect of lotensin. In rare instances, low white blood cell counts have been reported with the use of another ACE inhibitor. Low white blood cells increase the patient's risk of infections. When taken with lithium, lotensin can increase lithium to toxic levels in the blood. Safe use in children is not established. It is not habit forming. ACE inhibitors, including lotensin, can be harmful to the fetus and should not be taken by pregnant women.
