Med allergy: An allergy to olmesartan (brand name, Benicar) implies an allergy to a drug in the angiotensin receptor blocker category. One would have to know the specifics of the signs or symptoms to judge whether or not it is an allergy. In addition, an allergic reaction might be specific for only one drug in a class or it might pertain to all members of a class.
