Quick Reference
What Is Benazepril?
Benazepril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used in veterinary medicine to support pets with heart disease, kidney disease, and high blood pressure. It helps improve blood flow and reduce strain on the heart while protecting kidney function. Compounded formulations allow for precise dosing when commercial tablets are not ideal.
How Benazepril Works in Pets
Benazepril works by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to constrict. By relaxing blood vessels, benazepril lowers blood pressure, improves circulation, and reduces stress on the heart and kidneys. It is commonly used alongside other cardiac or renal therapies.
