About BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE and its cost

What is this medication? Benazepril hydrochloride is a prescription medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure, a condition also known as hypertension. It belongs to a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors, which work by blocking a specific substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. By helping the blood vessels relax, the medication allows blood to flow more smoothly and helps the heart pump more efficiently. Lowering high blood pressure is medical for reducing the risk of serious health complications such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. In some cases, doctors may also prescribe benazepril to help manage heart failure or to protect kidney function in patients with certain conditions like diabetes. It is most effective when taken regularly as directed by a healthcare provider and is often used alongside lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet and exercise.

BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE is made by Validus Pharmaceuticals. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Validus Pharmaceuticals has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Hypertension?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
