How does Benicar work?

Benicar is a prescription medicine given to patients suffering from high blood pressure. Benicar works by binding to the angiotensin receptors, hence prohibiting the chemical angiotensin from binding to these receptors.

The chemical angiotensin causes vasoconstriction, which in turn increases the cardiac output and that causes a rise in blood pressure. Benicar blocks this chemical and lowers the blood pressure.
