I was prescribed Benicar HCT 20/12.5mg tablets to manage my high blood pressure but have been hearing about some serious side effects. Has anyone else had similar experiences or advice on how to manage these potential risks? I'm particularly worried about the possible eye problems and skin cancer risks. My doctor wasn't too concerned but I'd like to know if anyone can share some of their experiences or tips on how to stay safe while on this medication.
