It is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, which works by blocking the production of a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow. This helps to relax the blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. Benazepril is also used to reduce the risk of stroke in people with high blood pressure and an enlarged heart. Benazepril is available in both generic and brand-name forms. It is typically taken once or twice daily, with or without food. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and fatigue.
