Benicar and Micro-k drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Benicar (olmesartan medoxomil) and Micro-k (potassium chloride). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among females and anxiety among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Benicar and Micro-k. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Benicar?

Benicar has active ingredients of olmesartan medoxomil. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 36,002 Benicar users. Check the latest studies of Benicar.

What is Micro-k?

Micro-k has active ingredients of potassium chloride. It is often used in hypokalemia. eHealthMe is studying from 1,895 Micro-k users. Check the latest studies of Micro-k.
