Q: My wife is taking Almetic plus one tablet daily for the last 3 months. She has normal blood pressure with this medicine like 120/80. But for the last few days she observed white small patches all over her body. Do we say it a side effect of this medicine?
A: I assume you mean the drug olmetec or olemesartan (Benicar). A small percentage of people taking this medicine have reported a rash as a side effect. Your wife should discuss this further with her doctor.
