Lutein and Benicar drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lutein (lutein) and Benicar (olmesartan medoxomil). Common drug interactions include cough among females and arthralgia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lutein and Benicar. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 73 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Lutein?
Lutein has active ingredients of lutein. It is often used in macular degeneration. eHealthMe is studying from 7,461 Lutein users. Check the latest studies of Lutein.
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.
73 people who take Lutein and Benicar together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on lutein and olmesartan medoxomil (the active ingredients of Lutein and Benicar, respectively), and Lutein and Benicar (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
