Drug induced LUPUS. I have been taking Benicar HCT (diaretic) for hypertension for a full year now. I keep reading on the internet that Hydrochlorothiazide can cause drug induced Lupus. I have many of the Lupus symptoms now. I can't see my Rheumy until the 4th of November so until then I keep looking for answers to my pains.
You should not buy any generic Benicar until there is an approved generic version available. The first patent for Benicar currently expires in October 2016. This is the earliest date that a generic version of Benicar could become available. However, other circumstances could cause the exclusivity period to extend beyond 2016. This could include such things as other patents for specific Benicar uses or lawsuits.
