No. Benazepril is an "ACE inhibitor" (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor). Diovan is an "angiotensin receptor blocker" (ARB). These two classes of medications are related in that they lower blood pressure by blocking the RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system).
The brand name of benazepril is Lotensin. The generic name for Diovan is valsartan.

Can you take lisinopril instead of diovan?
This needs to go to your Doctor. DIovan and lisinopril are used for hypertenion but lisinopril is not used for other things Diovan is (like post MI treatment for one). Also, Diovan is an ACE inhibitor and lisinopril isn't. This isn't an easy call, for can I answer it without your history. This one we can't solve for your here. Sorry. UPDATE DIOVAN is an ARB( angiotensin receptor blocker) not an ACE inhibitor which is what lisinopril is. every person responds differently to BP medicines.....ARB's work better for some than others and some people cannot take ACE because of cough reflex so this is a good alternative. Your doctor has to be involved anyway. Diovan is expensive....about $180 for 30 pills and has no generic.
