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.
Benicar and medications containing olmesartan have a number of side effects. Like most medications, many of these side effects are mild to moderate but may have a negative impact on the patientâs quality of life. In other cases, however side effects are more severe and may be life-threatening.
