Benicar HCT

Benicar HCT is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: olmesartan medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). The combination of these two medications helps to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing fluid retention.
