PRNewswire -- New study results show that patients treated with Benicar® (olmesartan medoxomil) 40 mg once daily had significantly greater reductions in blood pressure and higher rates of goal attainment than patients receiving Cozaar® (losartan potassium) 100 mg once daily at week 8, according to findings of a new head-to-head study presented today at the late breaker session at the 23rd Scientific Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in Vancouver, Canada. Benicar and Cozaar* are two of the leading angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).(1) The study did not evaluate the Cozaar 50 mg BID (twice a day) dose.(2)
