It is safe to take this drug in your situation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I passed carefully through your question and reviewed your uploaded test reports and would explain that it is OK to take amlodipine and benazepril, although your calcium plasma levels are borderline. A diet rich in calcium is recommendable, in order to prevent further drop in calcium plasma levels.
I would just recommend taking plenty of water in order to stay well hydrated. BUN/creatinine ratio is slightly elevated, which could be related to poor water intake or dehydration.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
