Benicar Pharmacology
Olmesartan Medoxomil, a specific angiotensin II type 1 antagonist, is used alone or with other antihypertensive agents to treat hypertension. Unlike the angiotensin receptor antagonist losartan, olmesartan does not have an active metabolite or possess uricosuric effects. Blockade of the angiotensin II receptor inhibits the negative regulatory feedback of angiotensin II on renin secretion, but the resulting increased plasma renin activity and circulating angiotensin II levels do not overcome the effect of olmesartan on blood pressure.
Benicar Absorption
Bioavailability is about 26%. Food does not affect the bioavailability of olmesartan.
Benicar side effects and Toxicity
Symptoms of overdose include dehydration (dry mouth, excessive thirst, muscle pain or cramps, nausea and vomiting, weakness), dizziness, low blood pressure, and slow or irregular heartbeat.
