Indications and Usage for Benicar. Benicar is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
Benicar works by blocking the activity of angiotensin-II. Angiotensin is a potent vasoconstrictor that is produced by the liver and used by the body to regulate blood pressure. If the blood pressure is too high, the heart may become stressed and other organs such as the kidney may be damaged.
