Hi,
Benicar i.e.olmesartan medoxomil ,its antihypertensive effect is substantially present with 2 week of therapy initiation.
Dose amy be increased up to 40 mg once daily ,if needed .
If your doctor needed ,may consider a lower starting dose in patients with possible depletion of intravascular volume.
As you mentioned that you were receiving losartan , now on benicar , so this is a good drug .
Take this drug according o prescribed by your doctor.
Good luck.
