CLINICAL STUDIES OF BENICAR EXPOSING GASTROINTESTINAL DAMAGE

Benicar comes with a handful of commonly recognized side-effects but has just recently been linked to severe gastrointestinal side effects. In 2012 the Mayo Clinic reported, “Olmesartan may be associated with a severe form of spruelike enteropathy. Clinical response and histologic recovery are expected after suspension of the drug”. Spruelike enteropathy is a gastrointestinal disorder with symptoms that include severe, chronic diarrhea and substantial weight-loss. Chronic diarrhea can lead to severe dehydration resulting in hospitalization and sometimes death. The Mayo Clinic study was enough for the FDA on July 2013 to mandate label changes for Benicar to include intestinal problems. Further studies have since come out verifying the link between Benicar and gatrointestinal damage. In May 2014 the medical journal Gastroenterology published an article concluding that, “[Benicar (olmesartan)] was associated with an increased risk of severe intestinal malabsorption. The increased risk appears after one year of treatment and reaches 9.53 after 2 years of [Benicar (olmesartan)]. ARBs other than [Benicar (olmesartan)] were not associated with an increased risk of severe intestinal malabsorption”. This study notes that while Benicar exhibits an increased risk for gastrointestinal damage, similar ARB drugs do not. It has also been shown that discontinuing usage of Benicar will reverse symptoms of spruelike enteropathys in all patients, furthering the direct link between Benicar and gastrointestinal damage. If you are currently prescribed Benicar, make sure to consult your physician before discontinuing use. Do not discontinue use without physician approval.

I fell at Macy’s at Northpark Mall 2 years ago. Macy’s said they were not responsible for the accident. It was the construction company did not have a sign up. So basically I had given up on it. Then out of the blue Chad with Loncar called me and told me I was getting a check for $10,114. I was shocked. I know that he had to work for a good while to get this amount for me. He did a great job and he does not know how much I appreciate his help and all the work he had to do to get this to happen. Thank you Chad, you are the best.
