amlodipine/benazepril 5/10 capsule information ## Ever since my husband starting taking this medication he has had insomnia. Dr. says the medicine is not the cause. I tend to disagree. ## It is not a normal side effect of this class of medications, however, medications do affect different people in different ways. It may be causing his problem or it may not, there is no way for us to know for sure. He really needs to get some advice or treatment options from his doctor to try to get to the root of the problem. ## Been on this medicine for almost a month and now I have developed a chronic cough. Is that due to taking this medicine?
