Medications for Charlie
Charlie, my cat, has to take this medication once daily. He has too much protein in his urine. He has renal failure. So far it has worked so well. He is back in the range that it should be but still high. He has been on this for a year but doctor wants to continue to try and get it down lower. He is also on RenAvast twice a day.

Pharmacist Failed to Use Common Sense!
I must cut each of these pills in half.
The pills are SO VERY TINY, IT MAKES MY TASK DIFFICULT TO IMPOSSIBLE.
The pharmacist should have dispensed the larger pill which is readily available.
I would even have paid more for this convenience.

I'll get this one from my vet
From UndisclosedComments about Benazepril HCl (Generic)This pill has helped to ease the discomfort Aubrey has as s result of a heart murmur. I will buy it from my vet's office because even though it costs more, it's a smaller, easier to swallow pill. -

Very small 5mg pills
From undisclosedComments about Benazepril HCl (Generic)The pills are ok if you need the 5mg strength - but to split them into 2.5mg as I needed to do, they are way to small and VetRxDirect did not have the proper size so I was forced to oil at other competitors. -
I would buy again
From undisclosedComments about Benazepril HCl (Generic)I am using for my kitty who has kidney disease hoping it is helping her heart stay healthy -
Consistent and dependable.
From undisclosedComments about Benazepril HCl (Generic)No adverse effects. My vet is happy with these and his condition is stable. He does get a little sleepy after but he's on a few other heart meds so it may be all of them together. -
