The new prescription I just received are lg red pills. The last scrip I got are small white ones. Is there a picture of this new medication? On one side of the red pill is a S on the other side there are the numbers 342. I don't want to take this new medication if it is not the right medication. ## Hello, Fay! How are you? Is the marking ETH 342? If so, then yes, you have received the correct medication, 10mgs of Benazepril, it's just manufactured by a different company than the other ones that you were taking. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and cough. Is there anything else I can help with?

Has anyone experienced side effects from taking Chlorthalidone? ## Can Chlorthalidone 25 mg and Lotensin 20mg combined cause mild angina in a 64 year old females? I recently developed angina after taking these combined medications. The angina happens at rest. ## The FDA has approved Chlorthalidone to treat congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure. They list its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased urination, hypotension, headache, and dehydration. Greengoat, it is more likely that you were going to develop it, anyway. These medications are most commonly used to treat it, not cause it, according to NIH studies. How long have you been taking them?

small oval light purple tablet with E 211 ## This contains 20mgs of Benazepril and 12.5mgs of Hydrochlorothiazide, a generic for Lotensin HCT. This is a combination drug that helps lower blood pressure and contains a diuretic to remove too much water and salt. ## is Benzaepril H and Benazepr HcT the same thing? Mine is not a small oval purple pill, but an average size yellow pill with M/735 stamped on it ## My Benazepr HCT Tabs are ovals approximately 5/8th of an inch long and 7/32nd of an inch thick. I would say they are light beige rather than yellow and they are stamped with M775. Because they are generic could the color be somewhat different for different producers who also use their own id number? ## I have been on Benicar HCT and my doctor prescribed Benazepr HCT. Do they work the...

Found 3 pills when walking the dog in a baggie? My dog actually found them but luckily they were zipped. I tried to google and I think they are blood pressure meds. Why would someone throw away or out a window? Brand Names: Lotensin Generic Name: benazepril Is this correct? Or were these narcotics or something that could have killed my dog? ## Hello, Leigh! How are you? While there may always be risks if dogs eat such pills, your research was correct. These are manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals and they list them as containing 40mgs of Benazepril, which is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. I am very glad your ...
