I have been on regular BP meds for over a year now, and have had very irregular periods. before my meds my bp would rise during my period, so high in fact I had to be taken to the Emergency room on 2 occasions. Does my blood pressure pill affect my menstural cycle? can it make it all but dissapear?
I take Benicar HCT 20/12.5
Thanks

I just forwarded your medical question to THCN's medical expert. In the meantime, you might find http://www.healthcentral.com/high-blood-pressure/find-drug-24289-25.html helpful as it provides detailed information on Benicar and its side effects, etc. I hope this is helpful.
