Taking benicar (olmesartan) /hct vs spironolctone .are they equivalent in lowering or controlling blood pressure.any advantiage of benicar (olmesartan) over just spironolacton?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benicar/HCTZ: will usually be the more effective of the two because it's 2 BP meds. But in some cases for certain conditions the spironolactone will be better.
