Benicar® Safety Concerns

There is growing concern over serious side effects related to the following prescription medications: Benicar®, Benicar HCT®, Tribenzor®, and Azor®.

These medications are prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure and contain the ingredient olmesartan medoxomil.

Benciar®, Benicar HCT®, Tribenzor®, and Azor® are all brand name drugs which are manufactured by Daiichi Sankyo, Inc., a Japanese corporation. Recent studies have shown that these prescription medications can cause alarming injuries among users, including the following: dehydration, severe weight loss, chronic diarrhea, vomiting, and spruelike enteropathy.

A 2012 study by the Mayo Clinic followed 22 patients who were taking drugs containing olmesartan medoxomil and suffering from chronic diarrhea and weight loss, with most requiring hospitalization. All study participants showed significant improvement of their symptoms after they discontinued the use of drugs containing olmesartan medoxomil.

The study concluded that olmesartan medoxomil was directly linked to the patients’ alarming injuries.
