high blood pressure
"I've been taking Benicar for about 2 years now.  Every other medicine tended to make my feet and ankles swell badly, but this medicine is great.  My blood pressure is consistently about 110/70 (sometimes lower).  No side effects.  I take it in the mornings and do not have a problem with drowsiness, even though I'm really prone to this side effect with other medicines.  I just wish my insurance covered it on their formulary.  As it is I pay $45/month.  This, in combination with the diabetic medicines and supplies, really takes a toll on my budget.  But I guess the results are worth it.  As a state worker in California, though, I may have to investigate less expensive options soon! "
