Add back: Hi. I think your BP will be better for you in the long run being lower than it is now (studies have shown that). I would add back the Benicar/Hct. If its previous dose was too high, a lower dose could be used. Good luck!

What dose of Ben/Hct: You may need a lower dose of Benicar (olmesartan) and avoid the hydrochlorothiazide. Talk with your doctor.
