A member asked:
Is spironolactone good for bp control. would 25 mg spironolactone at pm along with benicar (olmesartan) 40/hct 12.5 in am, ok. is this too much diuretic to have.

Depends: It is a good medication to have in certain conditions like obesity and hypertension, sleep apnea and hypertension, hyperaldosteronism and htn. Used along with Benicar (olmesartan) there can be a concern for high potassium levels- your doc can monitor that.
