You can take Benicar (olmesartan) at any time of the day, but it is usually recommended to take it at the same time each day to help you remember to take it consistently. Some people prefer to take it in the morning to align with their daily routine, while others may take it in the evening to avoid potential side effects like dizziness that can occur when starting the medication. Ultimately, the best time to take Benicar depends on what works best for you and your lifestyle.
Grapefruit does not interact with Benicar, but you should avoid alcohol and salt substitutes while taking the medication. Drinking alcohol also lowers your blood pressure, and when combined with Benicar, it may lower your blood pressure to dangerous levels.
