has anyone gotten insurance company to pay for Benecar (olmesarten) ? Mine changed me from Benecar to Losarten-just not the same effects. The benecar controlled it better and NO SIDE EFFECTS. Losarten is making me fat and my back hurts terribly and AI have a headache.

There are many other medications on the market that will treat the same conditions that Benicar and Losartan treat.

These are ARBs and you can learn more about them and the other medications available in this class ARB here.

And other to treat hypertension and cardiac conditions drug details here.

It does sound like you are getting all the bad side effects of the Losartan, I did the same thing with several of the other blood pressure medications that I tried and had to switch several times until we found ones that worked and didn't cause problems, but were also affordable.

There is over a hundred on the market, so if your insurance won't cover Benicar and the Losartan isn't agreeing with you, then it's really just a matter of talking to your doctor about trying something else.

Are these the only ones you've tried?
