            Warnings

            Black Box Warnings

            Discontinue as soon as possible when pregnancy is detected; affects renin-angiotensin system causing oligohydramnios, which may result in fetal injury and/or death

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity to either component or sulfonamides

            History of hereditary or angioedema associated with or without previous ACE inhibitor treatment

            Coadministration of neprilysin inhibitors (eg, sacubitril) with ACE inhibitors may increase angioedema risk; do not administer ACE inhibitors within 36 hr of switching to or from sacubitril/valsartan

            Bilateral renal artery stenosis or anuria

            Do not coadminister with aliskiren in patients with diabetes

            Cautions

            Excessive hypotension if concomitant diuretics, hypovolemia, hyponatremia

            Risk of hyperkalemia, especially with renal impairment, DM or those taking concomitant K+-elevating drugs

            Dual blockade of the renin angiotensin system with ARBs, ACE inhibitors, or aliskiren associated with increased risk for hypotension, hyperkalemia, and renal function changes (including acute renal failure) compared to monotherapy

            Angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis, and larynx has been reported in patients treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors

            If laryngeal stridor or angioedema of the face, tongue, or glottis occurs, treatment with Lotensin HCT should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted immediately

            Patients receiving coadministration of ACE inhibitor and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) inhibitor (e.g. temsirolimus, sirolimus, everolimus) therapy may be at increased risk for angioedema

            Instruct patients to protect skin from sun and undergo regular skin cancer screening

            DM, fluid or electrolyte imbalance, hyperuricemia or gout, SLE, liver disease, renal disease

            May aggravate digitalis toxicity

            Sensitivity reactions may occur with or without history of allergy or asthma

            Biliary cirrhosis or biliary obstruction

            Myelosuppression

            Renal impairment may occur

            Neutropenia/agranulocytosis reported

            Cough may occur within the first few months

            Cholestatic jaundice may occur

            Risk of male sexual dysfunction

            Avoid concomitant use with lithium

            Acute transient myopia and acute angle-closure glaucoma has been reported, particularly with history of sulfonamide or penicillin allergy (hydrochlorothiazide is a sulfonamide)

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy Category: D

            Lactation: excreted in breast milk, use caution

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.

            Pharmacology

            Mechanism of Action

            Benazepril/hydrochlorothiazide is a fixed-combination tablet that combines an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, benazepril, and a thiazide diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide

            Benazepril prevents the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II (a potent vasoconstrictor) through inhibition of ACE by competing with physiologic substrate (angiotensin I) for active site of ACE; inhibition of ACE initially results in decreased plasma angiotensin II concentrations & consequently, blood pressure may be reduced in part through decreased vasoconstriction, increased renin activity, & decreased aldosterone secretion

            Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits Na reabsorption in distal renal tubules resulting in increased excretion of Na+ and water, also K+ and H+ ions
