I have been taking Benicar for 5+ years now. I am very happy with how well the drug is doing. I was taking 20 mg for the first few years but I have been able to cut back to 10 mg with the same results. I haven't had any noticeable side effects like I did with some of the drugs I tried before this one. I'm am happy consumer!
