Very common, and the generic versions of these two medicines are very inexpensive. Might even be on Wal-Mart's $4/month list. And you are right, in the USA that combo is not sold. There is a combo that is similar (amlodipine with benazepril), but I would simply stay with the amlodipine and lisinopril as separate pills while here.
