Hello,

The medication Lotrel 10/20mg is a combination of two hypertension medication. These two medications are amlodipine (10mg) and Benazepril (20mg). The generic name for this medication is Amlodipine-Benazepril.

This medication combination is also available with the name of Amlobenz in few places. It is exactly the same as Lotrel but a different brand.

If the combination of the drug is entirely not available then other similar combination may be used like Amlodipine-Valsartan, Amlodipine-perindopril. These drugs have a similar effect on Lotrel.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
