I was prescribed Amlodipine-Benaz 5/10mg Capsules for my high blood pressure, and I'm curious about others' experiences. This combo drug has amlodipine to relax blood vessels and benazepril to help with salt and water. It's supposed to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. I'm mostly concerned with the potential side effects, especially the severe ones. Has anyone else dealt with things like kidney problems, high potassium, or liver issues? I want to be prepared but also not worry too much. Anyone have any tips on managing these side effects or general advice on living with this medication?

I recently started taking Amlodipine-Benazepril 10/20mg capsules to manage my high blood pressure. I've heard it's effective, but the list of side effects is daunting. Does anyone else have experience with this drug? How did you cope with the side effects, if any? What were your big wins or deals? Is it really as dangerous as it sounds, and should I be super worried about liver problems?
