Frequently asked questions about Benazepril

Q. What is Benzil 5 Tablet? What is it used for?
Benzil 5 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 Benzil 5 Tablet?
Benzil 5 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 Benzil 5 Tablet at any time of the day. If you have been prescribed Benzil 5 Tablet twice a day, try to take it once in the morning and once in the evening, leaving a gap of 10 to 12 hours between the two doses.
Q. I feel better after taking Benzil 5 Tablet, can I stop taking it?
No, do not stop taking Benzil 5 Tablet even if you feel better or if your blood pressure is under control. These beneficial effects are due to the use of medicines. Stopping Benzil 5 Tablet suddenly may cause your blood pressure to increase and your chances of stroke or heart attack may rise. Usually, medicine used for controlling blood pressure needs to be taken life long unless you cannot tolerate it.
Q. Will Benzil 5 Tablet make me feel dizzy? What should I do about it?

Practice yoga or meditation or take up a hobby. Ensure that you have a sound sleep every night as this also helps to reduce stress levels and helps to keep your blood pressure normal.
