Benicar has always worked really well for me. Pharmacy changed me to the generic last month. My BP has been gradually going up. Today it's pretty bad, along with head and neck ache. Anyone else have problems with this new generic?

Why would u buy that and encourage others to do the same? You're not even sure yourself if it's the correct drug. NEVER buy drugs from a foreign country!

Mylan generic replacement is in production as of 10/26/2016. But I believe it has not yet been released for prescription purposes or added to insurance formularies.

Benecar prescription generic on the market now. Olmesartan-HTCZ. I've been taking for almost a month. 20-12.5 Good BP readings just like on brand name Benecar. Doc & my pharmacist said exact same active ingredients. Until 1/1 I'm in donut hole for my Medicare drug plan. Paid $55. Should be cheaper 1/1 when new drug year starts

Agreed. I had a horrible time with Lisinopril - the persistent cough drove me nuts.

Jerry, I am also looking for a great alternative to Benicar HCT. I was on this previously and it worked great for me, but since it so expensive, was prescribed Isinopril. Just got off the Isinopril as it caused such severe coughing that it caused blood vessels behind my eyes to burst. My husband and sister just stopped the Isinopril due to the coughing issue and none of us would recommend it. You can easily confirm this just by reading the responses of all the people who are adversely affected by it.

the generic "metalazone" is not on my insurance list, what would be a medical generic as a substitute.

I took Sam's advice and went to Benicar.com. I was able to lower my copay to $25 a month. I called them, signed up, called the pharmacy with the numbers they gave me and DONE :)
