What is Lotensin HCT?

Generic Name: benazepril-hydrochlorothiazide
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.
Benazepril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Benazepril lowers blood pressure and also relieves symptoms of fluid retention.
The combination of hydrochlorothiazide and benazepril is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
Hydrochlorothiazide and benazepril may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
