Mechanism of action

Benazepril belongs to the class of medications known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

By inhibiting this enzyme, benazepril helps relax and widen the blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure.

It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time.
