How much does benazepril HCTZ cost at retail pharmacies?
Pricing for benazepril/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) varies mainly by:
- The strength and tablet count (for example, 10/12.5 mg vs 20/12.5 mg)
- Whether you’re buying a brand or a generic
- Your pharmacy and location
- Whether a discount program (like a manufacturer coupon, cash-pay discount, or prescription savings card) is used
Because the exact price depends on the specific product (strength, quantity, and manufacturer) and where it’s filled, I can’t give a single accurate dollar figure from the information provided.
Is there a cheaper generic version of benazepril HCTZ?
Benazepril/HCTZ is widely available as a generic, which is typically much cheaper than brand-name versions for the same dose and quantity. If your prescription allows substitution, asking for the generic can often reduce cost.
What affects cost the most (strength, quantity, brand vs generic)?
The biggest price drivers are usually:
- Dose/strength: higher-dose products often cost more
- Tablet count: 30-day vs 90-day supplies change the total cost
- Brand vs generic: brand pricing is usually higher
- Insurance status: cash price can differ a lot from copay prices

What I need from you to estimate your likely cost
Reply with:
1) The exact strength on your label (example: 10 mg/12.5 mg)
2) Quantity (example: 30 tablets or 90 tablets)
3) Whether it’s labeled generic or brand
4) Your ZIP code (optional but helps a lot)
…and I’ll narrow it down to the most likely price range and what to ask for at the pharmacy.
