Reasons Why Manufacturers Decided To Separate 2 Major Ingredients Of The Drug And Sell Two Different Pills Instead Just One With Combined
UpdatedI take benazepril -hydrochlorth for hypertension and the pharmacist told me that the manufacturers stopped making them as they were and now I have to buy two separate pills to have basically the same pill I was taking . It seems that they are just doing this to double the copay that i make . I do not see the logic of it. Is there any special medical explanation for this action?

I find it odd that the pharmacist told you that since there is no definitive information online (at least yet) to confirm it is true. Although this drug combination of benazepril and hydrochlorothiazide is already available separately, any effort to make the duo unavailable would definitely be geared towards patients spending more on each individual drug.
Also, by taking two medications, you'd possibly be ingesting double the amount of binders and fillers than you are now. Which may or may not be a concern of yours unless they contribute to any side effects or intolerance's.
Have you considered trying any alternative treatment options for managing blood pressure?
