amlodipine maleate; benazepril hydrochloride

How long does Amlodipine Maleate and Benazepril Hydrochloride stay in your body?

The elimination half-life of amlodipine maleate and benazepril hydrochloride is about 30 to 50 hours — the time it takes the body to clear about half of it. As a rule of thumb, a medicine is mostly gone after roughly 4 to 5 half-lives, though this varies from person to person with age and kidney or liver function. This is the parent drug's terminal elimination half-life in adults with normal liver function; it is longer (about 56 hours) in people with impaired liver function, and elderly patients and those with liver problems or heart failure clear the drug more slowly (roughly 40 to 60% higher blood levels). Amlodipine's metabolites are inactive, so no active-metabolite caveat applies.
