Benazepril and its active metabolite benazeprilat are angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. Oral administration every 12-24 hours.
It is excreted in breastmilk in clinically insignificant amounts. (AEMPS 2017, FDA 2015, Frank 2004, Shannon 2000, Kaiser 1989)
No problems have been observed in infants whose mothers were taking other ACEIs (Anderson 2018).
Expert authors consider the use of this drug acceptable during breastfeeding (Hale, LactMed, Briggs 2015).
Due to its potential renal toxicity in premature infants, it is preferable to avoid its use during the neonatal period in case of prematurity. (Serrano 2015)
The protective role of breastfeeding against maternal hypertension has been proven. (Park 2018)
