Lotensin (Benazepril) is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure): Blood pressure is the pressure at which the heart pumps the blood from one body organ to the other. This blood pressure helps move the blood all around one’s body. The blood pressure of one’s body generally differs at different times of the day. The problem occurs when the amount of pressure rises from the normal, and if this increase stays for a longer time, it may be life threatening. This is called high blood pressure or hypertension. The normal blood pressure should be 90/140mg. There are a number of drugs available to treat hypertension, and Lotensin (Benazepril) is one of them.

Lotensin (Benazepril) is also used for the treatment of congestive heart failure: Heart failure means that the heart muscle is weak and cannot pump blood strongly enough to supply all the blood needed throughout the body. Heart failure is not the same as a heart attack and does not mean that the heart stops. Heart failure may start off with no symptoms, but as the condition progresses, patients may feel short of breath or may get tired easily after light physical activity such as walking. Lotensin (Benazepril) is also used to treat heart failure.
