Suggest Dosage For Benicar

Brief Answer:
Following advice.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
As long as your BP is high and you don't remember to have taken the medication you may take the other half. You should wait for another hour to see its effect.
If after one hour the BP is higher than 180/110 mmHg than you should go to ER.
Wish you health!
