Why shouldn’t we ramp up the dose of Benicar?
A total of 120-160mg of Benicar in a 24hour period divided up and taken at regular intervals is needed to provide an adequate inflammatory blockade. Hormonal adjustment symptoms may be experienced when the Benicar blockade is initiated but these are usually short-lived and tolerable. It is usually best to have enough Benicar for Q6 hour dosing or more if required for light exposure or Immunopathology. Q8 hour dosing leaves no room for error. Factors that affect dosage The amount of Benicar needed to provide a satisfactory inflammatory blockade may vary slightly depending on the bacterial load, the rate at which 1,25-D is manufactured in the macrophages, the rate of Benicar metabolism by the liver or location of the inflammation. Body weight Benicar dosage is dependant on bacterial load, not body weight. Anyone who is ill enough to require treatment with the MP has a high bacterial load. We have seen no data confirming any direct relationship with body weight. Other meds and Benicar It’
