What is Benicar HCT used for?
Benicar HCT is prescribed to treat hypertension. Reducing high blood pressure aids in the prevention of strokes, heart attacks, as well as kidney problems. Benicar HCT contains two medical ingredients: olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan is classified as an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and works by relaxing the muscle of the blood vessels so that blood can move easier. Hydrochlorothiazide is classified as a diuretic which causes you to retain more water in your urine, which helps excrete extra salt and water.
