HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Aricept, zanaflex and Keflex are different from the the benazepril and diltiazem mentioned.

Benazepril and diltiazem are blood pressure medications, the diltiazem is also used to help with abnormal heart rhythms as well.

Keflex is an antibiotic, aricept is used to help with alzheimers and zanaflex helps with muscle spasms.

I hope this helps
