A member asked:
My bp has gone from 125/80 to 150/90 since my doc put me on me regular benicar (olmesartan) vs. benicar (olmesartan) hct, which i was on prior. i have concerns...

You're right!: Benicar (olmesartan) alone is less potent than Benicar (olmesartan) HCT - why did he/she switch you? There may have been an important reason!
