What is Benicar HCT?
Benicar HCT 20 mg-12.5 mg Tab
Drug Name: OLMESARTAN/HCTZ - ORAL
Other Brand Names: Benicar HCT
Uses: This drug is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains two medications: olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker and works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide is a "water pill" (diuretic) that causes you to make more urine, which helps your body get rid of extra salt and water.
