Benicar (olmesartan): Every medicine has side effects but not every individual gets the effects. The studies are done just to determine what is possible ,so in general there should be no surprises when you take the medicine. if the medicine works for you with no side effects do not worry and take it. The consequences of hypertension are significant. f/u/ w/ doc
