I started taking Lotensin 4 years ago after a Heart Attack, and shortly after I to notice my hair coming out from the root. I told the doctor and all he said was that no one else spoke of hair loss.
The next time I went to him I took the zip lock bag full of my hair, he just looked at it still no change in medication. I went home ad research all of the medication that I was taking and found that Lotensin and Zocor, could cause hair loss.
I went to Dermatology and they checked my hair roots and found them to be perfectly health, I have never had a perm or dyed my hair. He gave me a list of medications that have been known to cause hair loss. By this time I had lost half of my hair.
I stopped taking the medication and my hair stopped coming out. It is growing back but extremly thin to the piont that you can see through it when it is down. (I am female)
I have also suffered from muscel and joint pain for 4 years and this is daily.

Lotensin Chemical Information
benazepril hydrochloride - Thy hydrochloride salt of a dicarbocyl-containing peptide and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. As a prodrug, benazepril hydrochloride is metabolized to its active form benazeprilat. Benazeprilat competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This prevents the potent vasoconstrictive actions of angiotensin II and results in vasodilation. Benazepril hydrochloride also decreases angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, which leads to an increase in sodium excretion and subsequently increases water outflow.
