Lotensin HCT (active ingredients: benazepril and hydrochlorothiazide) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Hypertension: Lotensin HCT is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients who require combination therapy. It helps to lower blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

Lotensin HCT belongs to a class of drugs known as combination antihypertensives. Benazepril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that works by relaxing blood vessels, while hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that helps reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing urine output.

Lotensin HCT comes in tablet form and should be taken by mouth with or without food, as directed by your doctor, usually once a day. To get the most benefit from Lotensin HCT, use it regularly at the same time each day. To prevent dehydration, be sure to drink adequate fluids. If you are on a restricted fluid intake, consult your doctor for instructions.

The dosage of Lotensin HCT varies based on your medical condition and response to therapy. It may take 2 weeks to see the full benefit of this drug for high blood pressure or several weeks to months for congestive heart failure.

Continue taking Lotensin HCT even if you feel well, as most people with high blood pressure do not experience symptoms. Take it around the same time every day to help you remember to take benazepril and hydrochlorothiazide. If you are also taking cholestyramine or colestipol, take benazepril/hydrochlorothiazide at least 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after taking those drugs. Lotensin HCT can take 1-2 weeks for the maximum blood pressure reduction to occur and several weeks to months when used for congestive heart failure.
