Can Benazepril Hydrochloride Cause Tingling Feeling In Feet?
Question: I am experiencing tingling in my feet and read this could be a side effect of Benazepril HCL. If that is what is causing it, will it stop if I discontinue the medicine? And, how long will it take.
Brief Answer:
Trial of discontuining can confirm the cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. If the tingling sensation has started after being on medication benezapril, it could be the cause.
2. After stopping, it could take around 1-2 weeks, for neural recovery to occur. However, if you need to stop it, you need to start on other medication for hypertension.
3. However, if any associated diabetes mellitus is present, then peripheral neuropathy needs to be thought of.
4. Also for faster recovery, Vit B12 and B6 supplements will be helpful.
Meet your doctor regarding change of medication.
Hope it helps.
