I have been taking amlod/benazp caps 10/40 for about six months. I notice me being light headed. But now it sames like it is happening constance, and i feel short of breath and feel like i have to urinate often. ## Headache, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue are reported to be frequent side effects associated with Amlodipine. Benazepril also lists headaches as a common side effect, but I would think that Amlodipine presents the worst of what you're experiencing, due to the added fatigue. At least it's good to know that there are also many other alternative anti-hypertensive medications or therapies out there if you feel like you need to try something else with less side effects. Let me know if you're open to any suggestions. Learn More: Amlodipine Details Benazepril Details I h...

The FDA lists this medication as being most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, increased urination and hypotension.

I am considering a supplement that includes Testofen and Trigonella. I also take Amlod Benazp for hypertension. What side effects can I expect? ## From what I was able to gather on Testofen, because it is an all-natural formula, side effects may not be present — or if so, likely should be minimal at best. The Ingredients are listed below: 
 - Fenugreek
 - Gracillin 
- Protogracillin 
- Diosgenin 
- Dioscin 
- Other Saponins and Sapogenins The only notable cons I found are: - may require some dedication for maximum results 
- does not contain the most common aphrodisiacs Trigonella (aka Fenugreek) is also reported to be a generally safe product ...

My husband has been taking amlod/benazp for hypertension. He also has lost most of the cartilage in one hip, which gives him MUCH pain, especially with prolonged sitting/getting up. He is on an anti-inflammatory, and recently discovered his Vit D is extremely low, and has been supplementing that. He forgot his b/p pill 3 days ~ bad boy! And noticed his hip pain was significantly less. Could the Calcium inhibitor in amlod somehow cause some of the cartilage pain? ## Yes, it is possible that these medications could be having an effect. Joint and muscle pain are well-known side effects of most blood pressure medications. this site is not, however, medical professionals, so I can only tell you that listed side effects, so he should speak to his doctor as soon as possible to see if it is the...

And no, there is no difference in them as listed, but I can't say anything definitive, without knowing the markings on them, so this is only going by what's been listed here as is.

Sorry, title s/b "amlod/benazp 10-20 Sandoz" - Pharmacy just refilled with "amlod-benaz 10-20 Teva" Different color (medium blue while Sandoz was purple) Should I question my doctor before taking the new refill "Teva"? Thank you ## It's the same medication, the new pills you received have just been manufactured by a different company, which is Teva. And no, it's very dangerous to skip doses of this medication, because it may cause severe rebound effects, such as elevated heart rate and blood pressure. Are there any other questions or comments? ## This happened to me three weeks ago. Little by little I began to experience a general sort of itchiness - and a very few hive-like bumps. but the BIGGEST problem is that I am experiencing changes in the vision in...

Sunlight ## i have been taking amlod/benazp10-20mg capsule daily for over a year.when sumer hits i have bumps come up on back of my elbows where the sun hits.is this common? ## Amlodipine and Benazepril are the active ingredients in Lotrel, which is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Learn more Lotrel details here. And it may make you more sensitive to the sun and heat, so you do need to be careful. You should use a sunscreen and not stay out in the sun any longer than absolutely necessary. What David was describing sounds like it may be a heat rash, due to sun sensitivity, but it should be checked by a doctor to be certain. Are there any questions or comments?
