Indications and Usage for Benicar. Benicar is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
Benicar (olmesartan medoxomil) contains one of these warnings for fetal toxicity. The label says Benicar should be discontinued as soon as possible after pregnancy is detected. It further warns that drugs that act directly on the physiological system that regulates blood pressure, such as Benicar, can cause injury and death to the developing fetus.
