I was recently prescribed Lotrel 5/40mg capsules to manage my high blood pressure. I've been taking it for a few weeks now, and while I understand it contains amlodipine and benazepril, I'm curious to hear from others who have experience with this medication. Has anyone here dealt with significant side effects? I've had a bit of dizziness, but nothing too severe. I've also had a persistent cough. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. This medication was prescribed to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and I've heard it can be effective, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything important. The side effects listed are quite concerning, and I want to ensure I'm not experiencing anything urgent.
