What BP Med Could Replace Benicar With No Side Effects?
I take Crestor and Benicar and want to lower rx costs. My medicare pays badly for both. What BP med could replace benicar with no side effects? My doctor will not let me stop taking either medicine. I have lost 28 pounds and am still dieting and exercising. I am a 63 year old female if that matters.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Go for generic drugs, as cost will be reduced
2. Weight reduction is good, continue with exercising
3. High fiber, low salt and diet rich in fruits and vegetables are necessary.
4. Take regular medications and followup regularly with blood pressure.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
