Frequently asked questions about Benazepril

Q. What is Apriace 10mg Tablet? What is it used for?
Apriace 10mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to pass through the vessels. As a result of this, the heart does not have to work more to push the blood. Since the workload on the heart is reduced, it helps to lower the blood pressure and thus reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Q. What time of the day should I take Apriace 10mg Tablet?
Apriace 10mg Tablet should be taken in the dose and duration advised by the doctor, preferably at the same time each day to reduce the chances of a missed dose. Your doctor may advise you to take your first dose before bedtime, as it can make you dizzy. However, if you do not feel dizzy after the first dose, you may take Apriace 10mg Tablet at any time of the day.
