My 69 yr old aunt was on 20mg Lisinopril for a month, but her diastolics still ran over 90. Benicar was substituted. Anyone have side effects?

In regards to such questions, I have to state that all medications carry the risk of causing side effects, even over the counter products. That's just the nature of adding a foreign substance to the human body.

Learn more Benicar details here.

Benicar contains the active ingredient Olmesartan, it is an ARB that's commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotension.

Additionally, this class of medications shouldn't be taken with NSAIDs, since the NSAIDs can lessen their effectiveness.

Are there any comments or questions?
