Benicar and Benicar HCT are both medications used to treat high blood pressure, but they have different compositions. Benicar contains only olmesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps relax blood vessels. Benicar HCT combines olmesartan with hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic that helps reduce fluid retention, offering an added mechanism to lower blood pressure.
