What is Benicar?

Benicar contains olmesartan and is used to treat high blood pressure. Olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) which works to lower high blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and stopping them from narrowing therefore improving blood flow. Benicar may be used alone or with other blood pressure medications.

• Benicar should be taken orally either with or without food.
