ACE inhibitor. Inhibits conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and will also stimulate sympathetic stimulation, renal hypertension, and synthesis of aldosterone. The inhibition of aldosterone will decrease sodium and water retention. Benazepril, like other ACE inhibitors, will produce vasodilation and decrease aldosterone-induced congestion. ACE inhibitors also contribute to vasodilation by increasing concentrations of some vasodilating kinins and prostaglandins. Unlike enalapril, benazepril has a dual mode of elimination through the kidneys a
Benazepril, like other ACE inhibitors, is used to treat hypertension and CHF. Evidence shows that it may decrease the likelihood of developing cardiomyopathy in some dogs, but other studies failed to show this benefit. For treatment of occult mitral valve disease in dogs, there has not been a benefit of therapy. It may benefit some cats in heart failure or with systemic hypertension; however, some cats with hypertension may not respond, and ACE inhibitors are not considered a primary treatment for hypertension in cats. Benazepril has limited antihypertensive effects in cats with naturally occu
