Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor group of antihypertensive drugs.
As your blood pressure is not under control,the dosage of benazepril you are taking is not adequate.You need to go for more dose or you can go for the combinaton of drugs.
I would suggest you to consult your treating physician for proper dosage of the drug according to the control of your blood pressure.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
Thank you
