Benicar and Olmesartan Medoxomil at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Benicar, also known as Olmetec, is available through various companies, depending on the region. Organon manufactures the brand-name Benicar in Canada. In Turkey, Daiichi Sankyo also produces and markets Benicar. Olmetec is also available in Australia.

Generic olmesartan medoxomil is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Olmesartan Medoxomil:

Generic olmesartan medoxomil contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name Benicar and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards as the brand-name product. This means it is designed to work in the same way as Benicar. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name olmesartan medoxomil, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. If you have any questions about using generic olmesartan medoxomil, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, you can visit the FDA website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/buying-using-medicine-safely/generic-drugs

Dosage:

Brand Benicar and its generic olmesartan medoxomil are available as 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg oral tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on the individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Benicar (olmesartan medoxomil) is a prescription medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults and children above 6 years old. Lowering blood pressure helps to reduce the risk of complications like stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease.

Mechanism of Action:
Benicar (olmesartan medoxomil) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks the action of angiotensin II, a natural substance that narrows blood vessels. Through this action, Benicar allows the blood vessels to relax and widen, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow.

Take Benicar exactly as your doctor prescribes. Do not change your dosage or stop using the medication without consulting your doctor. Follow the instructions in the product monograph available in Canada: https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00048843.PDF. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Benicar, it is essential to discuss all potential side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below is a partial list of side effects; individual reactions can vary. Before starting Benicar, it is crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects – The following are examples of some common side effects of Benicar; other side effects may occur. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects persist, worsen, or concern you, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Back pain
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Stomach pain

Serious or rare side effects – Stop using Benicar and seek immediate medical attention right away if you experience any of the following:
• Allergic reactions, including angioedema, hives, and trouble breathing
• Kidney problems, including little to no urination, swelling in your feet or ankles, shortness of breath
• Severe and persistent diarrhea
• Severe dizziness
• Signs of hyperkalemia, such as muscle weakness, slow or irregular heartbeat

Contraindications:

This is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. It is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are using with your doctor or pharmacist before starting Benicar.

Benicar should not be taken if:
• You are allergic to olmesartan medoxomil or any of the inactive ingredients in Benicar
• You have diabetes or kidney disease and are also taking a drug called Aliskiren

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Benicar. This is crucial because certain conditions affect whether Benicar is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Dehydration
• Diabetes
• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Low-salt diet
• Narrowing of the heart valve, heart, or blood vessel disease

Dizziness and Impaired Driving Risk
Benicar can cause blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, or tiredness. These effects may impair your concentration and reaction time. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or engage in tasks requiring full alertness until you can do so safely and know how Benicar affects you. If you have concerns, speak with your doctor or pharmacist.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Benicar, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete information about potential drug interactions, please consult the official Benicar website at https://www.benicar.com/ and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Benicar can interact with other medicines but is not limited to;
• Aliskiren: Using this drug with Benicar, especially in patients with diabetes, can increase the risk of kidney problems, low blood pressure, and high potassium levels.
• Lithium: Benicar can increase lithium levels if co-administered
• Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen): These may reduce Benicar's blood pressure-lowering effect and increase the risk of kidney problems.
• Potassium Supplements, Potassium-Sparing Diuretics (e.g., spironolactone), or Salt Substitutes containing potassium: These can increase the risk of hyperkalemia when used with Benicar

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

If you are pregnant or become pregnant, tell your doctor before using Benicar. Olmesartan medoxomil can cause injury or death to an unborn baby, especially if taken in the second or third trimester. Use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy while taking Benicar. If you plan to become pregnant, ask your doctor for a safer medicine to use. If you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed, inform your doctor. It is unknown if Olmesartan medoxomil is excreted in human breast milk. Discuss the risks and benefits of using Benicar with your doctor before using it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Benicar at Canada Pharmacy Online

Why is Benicar more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Benicar, are generally lower in Canada than in the US due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations.
