Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
The recommended initial dose for patients not receiving a diuretic is 10 mg once a day. The usual maintenance dosage range is 20-40 mg per day administered as a single dose or in two equally divided doses. A dose of 80 mg gives an increased response, but experience with this dose is limited.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Benazepril inhibited both adrenaline-stimulated aortic PGI2 synthesis (25 pg mg -1 min-1) and carbachol-stimulated urinary bladder PGI2 synthesis (20 pg mg -1 min-1) in dose-dependent manners. IC50 (concentrations of antagonist at which agonist-stimulated PGI2 synthesis was inhibited by 50%) was 8 x 10-5.
