Benicar HCT contains two active ingredients: olmesartan medoxomil and hydrochlorothiazide. It is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults.
Benicar HCT helps lower blood pressure when treatment with one medication alone is not enough.
Lowering high blood pressure can help reduce the risk of serious health problems such as:
Benicar HCT combines two types of blood pressure medication.
Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, or ARB. It helps relax and widen blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic, sometimes called a water pill. It helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water from the body.
Together, these medicines help lower blood pressure and reduce the amount of work the heart has to do.
Benicar HCT helps control high blood pressure, but it does not cure it.
Continue taking it as prescribed even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms.
Benicar HCT is intended for adults. Its safety and effectiveness have not been established in children.
Benicar HCT is taken by mouth, usually once daily.
You may take it with or without food.
Because it contains hydrochlorothiazide, a water pill, it may make you urinate more often. Taking it earlier in the day can help reduce the need to urinate during the night.
A common starting dose is:
20 mg olmesartan / 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide once daily
Your healthcare provider may adjust your dose based on your blood pressure and how well you respond to treatment.
The maximum recommended dose is usually:
40 mg olmesartan / 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide once daily
Do not increase or decrease your dose unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Some cholesterol-lowering medicines can reduce how much hydrochlorothiazide your body absorbs.
If you take medicines such as cholestyramine or colestipol, take Benicar HCT at least 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after these medicines.
Ask your pharmacist how to space your doses if you are unsure.
Try to take Benicar HCT at about the same time every day.
Taking it regularly helps keep your blood pressure under control.
Continue taking it even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for a missed dose.
Take Benicar HCT exactly as prescribed.
Your healthcare provider may monitor your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels during treatment.
Benicar HCTZ (Olmesartan/Hctz) is available in the following forms and strength:
Do not use Benicar HCT during pregnancy.
Olmesartan can cause serious harm or death to an unborn baby.
If you become pregnant while taking Benicar HCT, contact your healthcare provider right away.
Do not take Benicar HCT if you are allergic to olmesartan, hydrochlorothiazide, or any ingredient in the medication.
Seek emergency medical attention if you develop:
Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease.
Benicar HCT can affect kidney function, especially if you are dehydrated or take other medications that affect the kidneys.
Your healthcare provider may check your kidney function during treatment.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease.
Changes in fluid or electrolyte levels may be harder for people with liver problems to tolerate.
Hydrochlorothiazide may affect blood sugar levels.
If you have diabetes, you may need to check your blood sugar more often or have your diabetes medications adjusted.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.
Hydrochlorothiazide can pass into breast milk, and it is not known whether olmesartan passes into human milk.
Your healthcare provider will help decide whether Benicar HCT is appropriate for you.
Benicar HCT can lower your blood pressure too much, especially when you first start treatment, after a dose increase, or if you become dehydrated.
Symptoms may include:
Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position.
Hydrochlorothiazide increases urination and can sometimes cause dehydration or changes in electrolyte levels.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop:
Do not force yourself to drink excessive amounts of fluid unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Alcohol may increase dizziness and low blood pressure caused by Benicar HCT.
Limit or avoid alcohol until you know how the medication affects you.
Benicar HCT may cause dizziness or lightheadedness.
Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires alertness until you know how the medication affects you.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you take.
Benicar HCT may interact with:
Some combinations may increase the risk of low blood pressure, kidney problems, or abnormal electrolyte levels.
Hydrochlorothiazide can rarely cause sudden eye problems, including increased pressure in the eye.
Seek medical attention if you develop sudden eye pain or a sudden decrease in vision.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe dizziness, fainting, reduced urination, unusual weakness, significant swelling, or concerning changes in blood pressure.
Seek emergency medical attention for trouble breathing, chest pain, severe allergic reactions, or sudden vision changes.
Weight gain is not a common side effect of Benicar HCT. However, changes in fluid balance may sometimes affect your weight. A sudden increase in weight, especially with swelling in your legs or ankles, should be reported to your healthcare provider.
Alcohol can increase dizziness, lightheadedness, and low blood pressure while you are taking Benicar HCT. It is best to limit or avoid alcohol until you know how the medication affects you.
Hair loss is not a common side effect of Benicar HCT. If you notice unusual or persistent hair loss while taking the medication, talk to your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether the medication or another condition may be responsible.
Benicar HCT is not an ACE inhibitor, so it is less likely to cause the persistent dry cough commonly associated with ACE inhibitors. However, if you develop a new or ongoing cough, contact your healthcare provider so the cause can be evaluated.
No. Benicar HCT may not be appropriate for everyone. Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, especially kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, gout, or problems with fluid and electrolyte levels. Also tell them about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take. Benicar HCT should not be used during pregnancy because it can seriously harm an unborn baby.
