What Causes Constant Sinusitis Infection While On Benicar?
I take benicar and wondering if I am having side effects from the drug. For the past few months I have had a constant sinus problem and have been to see an ENT and also been on antibiotics. New Week I go for a CT Scan. Guess I need to wait and see what the scan reports before I talk to my cardologist?

dear friend
Benicar that is Olmesartan Medoxomil is a medication used for controlling elevated blood pressure.
Sinus problem is certainly not a side effect of the drug,
the sinus issue may be a de novo condition and will be adequately treated by the ENT doctor depending on the need.
Please do not stop or alter the dose of olmesartan medoxomil which is being given for an entirly different condition
