Lotrel is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure. It is a single product containing 2 medications: amlodipine and benazepril. Amlodipine is in a class of medications called calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. Benazepril is in a class of medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by decreasing certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly.
This medication comes in capsule form and is taken once a day, with or without food.
