Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What is a good substitute for benazepril that is an ACE inhibitor? I ve took Lisinopril for many years, but developed an allergy - swollen face and lips - and was switched to benazepril about a year ago, but now I am getting swollen lips and face. What do you think?
Hello, It sounds like you have developed angioedema. If that is the case then you need to be on a different class of drugs. If you get angioedema from one ACE inhibitor then you will probably develop it from others. Talk to your doctor about a different class of medicines. Regards
