LOTENSIN HCT SUMMARY
Lotensin HCT
Benazepril inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretiuc.
Lotensin HCT is indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
This fixed combination drug is not indicated for the ini-tial therapy of hypertension (DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
In using Lotensin HCT, consideration should be given to the fact that another angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, has caused agranulocytosis, particularly in patients with renal impairment or collagen-vascular disease. Available data are insufficient to show that benazepril does not have a similar risk (see WARNINGS, Neutropenia/ Agranulocytosis).
Black patients receiving ACE inhibitors have been reported to have a higher incidence of angioedema compared to nonblacks.
