Novartis and manufactured as ageneric drug by Teva, is anantihypertensive medication which combines acalcium channel blocker (amlodipine besylate) with anangiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (benazepril ). This combination agent, and other analogs, is prescribed when either agent alone is not sufficient to bring a person's blood pressure down to target range. As a combination agent, Lotrel shares the adverse reaction profile of both of its individual parts.External links
