What is Benicar?

Benicar (Olmesartan) is given with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the already working heart and arteries. Continuous high blood pressure can lead to under functioned heart and blood arteries. Olmesartan falls under the category of angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a substance in the body that causes the blood vessels to constrict. In other words, olmesartan relaxes blood vessels which lowers the blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
