Benicar and Muscle Twitching

by AuntieG, Nov 10, 2008 11:41AM

Tags: Benicar HCT, Benicar

I took Benicar 20mg and within 24 hours experienced muscle twitches which escalated for a week before I stopped takine the medication; the twitches ceased almost immediately. Is this a common side effect of Benicar; I have not been able to find an answer.
