Olmecip, AM, H and Trio: generic Benicar, Azor, Benicar HCT and Tribenzor explained

Olmecip contains olmesartan, the blood pressure medicine sold in the US as Benicar. The letters after the name tell you which second or third medicine has been added. Here’s how to decode the pack, what each ingredient does, and what to watch when you switch.

Pick the version on your pack

Decoder

Match your Olmecip to its reference brand

A combination tablet has to match every ingredient on your prescription, not just the olmesartan dose. Check the exact split printed on your pack against what your prescriber wrote.

What’s inside

What each ingredient does

Olmesartan

An angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It stops a hormone from tightening blood vessels. Dizziness is common at first, and potassium can rise.

Rarely, it causes severe, long-lasting diarrhoea with weight loss months or years after starting. Tell your doctor if that happens. Glossary entry

Amlodipine (the AM)

A calcium-channel blocker that widens arteries. Ankle swelling is the most common side effect, along with flushing and headache.

Glossary entry

Hydrochlorothiazide (the H)

A diuretic that helps the kidneys remove salt and water, so you’ll urinate more at first. It can lower potassium and sodium, raise blood sugar and uric acid, and trigger gout in some people.

Glossary entry

Safety

Who shouldn’t take olmesartan

Stop olmesartan and contact your doctor as soon as you know you’re pregnant. Medicines that act on this hormone system can harm a developing baby. Different medicines are used in pregnancy; see blood pressure medicines for preeclampsia.
  • Don’t combine with aliskiren if you have diabetes.
  • NSAID painkillers such as naproxen can reduce its effect and strain the kidneys.
  • Potassium supplements, salt substitutes and spironolactone can push potassium too high.
  • It raises lithium levels, so lithium needs closer monitoring.
  • Kidney function and potassium are usually checked 1 to 2 weeks after starting or changing the dose.

Switching

Switching from Benicar or separate tablets

  1. Match every ingredient and strength

    An Olmecip H 40 is not interchangeable with a plain Olmecip 40. Use the decoder above.

  2. Don’t double up

    If a combination tablet replaces separate pills, stop the separate ones only as your prescriber tells you.

  3. Keep the same time of day

    Any consistent time works for olmesartan. Take H and Trio versions in the morning so the diuretic doesn’t wake you at night.

  4. Check your blood pressure at home

    Take readings for a couple of weeks after switching and share them with your prescriber.

  5. Book your blood tests

    Kidney function and potassium, especially with the H and Trio versions.

  6. Report new symptoms

    Fainting, swollen ankles that don’t settle, or diarrhoea that won’t go away.

Olmesartan questions

Is Olmecip the same as Benicar?

Olmecip contains olmesartan medoxomil, the active ingredient in Benicar. It is made for the Indian market, so it is not the licensed Benicar product in the US, UK or Australia. See Olmecip strengths.

What does the H in Olmecip H mean?

H stands for hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic. Olmecip H matches Benicar HCT. AM means amlodipine has been added (like Azor), and Trio means both have been added (like Tribenzor). The medicine name decoder covers other suffixes.

Can I switch from Benicar to Olmecip?

Only with your prescriber’s agreement and at exactly the same ingredients and strengths. Check your blood pressure at home for a couple of weeks after switching.

When is the best time to take olmesartan?

Any time, as long as it’s the same time each day. Versions containing hydrochlorothiazide are best taken in the morning.

Can olmesartan cause diarrhoea?

Rarely, olmesartan causes severe, chronic diarrhoea with weight loss, sometimes years after starting. It improves when the medicine is stopped, so tell your doctor if it happens.

Can I take olmesartan during pregnancy?

No. Olmesartan can harm a developing baby. Contact your doctor as soon as you know you’re pregnant so they can switch you to a safer medicine.

Not sure which one matches your prescription?

Send us the medicine name and strength exactly as your prescriber wrote it, and we’ll tell you which brands we stock that match.
