My husband has been on Benicar for his BP for several years now. This year we changed our ppo insurance from the one where you use or lose it to a HSA. The Benicar cost went from 35.00 to 600.00. Ridiculous. So now he is going to try Ibesartin. We would like to know is it as good. I imagine probably not.
Hello Thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. Irbesartan and losartan (Benita) belong to the same class of angiotensin receptor blockers. These medications are very effective in treating blood pressure patients. Both have equal efficacy in reducing blood pressure. Losartan has an additional effect of slightly contributing to diabetes control also. Both Chat Doctor.
