Benicar (generic name: olmesartan, brand names include: Olmetec / Olmezest / Olmecip) is a type of high blood pressure medication called an angiotensin receptor blocker or ARB. This medication blocks the action of a substance in the body called angiotensin II that increases blood pressure.
Benicar is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It can be used alone or with other drugs that treat high blood pressure. This medication is effective in improving blood pressure levels and may also contribute to the good care of your heart and overall health. Clonidine pills work by the similar way.
