	Olmesartan (Benicar) has two actions. It palliates symptoms by reducing inflammation, and it activates the innate immune response. Patients who begin the Marshall Protocol (MP) may experience either, both, or neither. According to one rough estimate, 25% of patients who begin the MP experience immediate symptomatic relief when they begin the olmesartan blockade, about 25% feel no different, and the other 50% will experience some adjustment symptoms. Even for MP patients who have a minimal initial reaction to olmesartan, the medication almost always ultimately has strong antibacterial effects resulting in immunopathology. For olmesartan to be effective, it has to be [[dosing\|dosed regularly]]: 40mg every 6-8 hours.		Olmesartan (Benicar) has two actions.

-	Olmesartan is classified as an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocking (ARB) drug. When olmesartan binds and blocks the Angiotensin Receptor, it prevents fibrotic tissue from forming and [[http://www.joimr.org/phorum/read.php?f=2&i=53&t=53\|decreases levels of Nuclear Factor Kappa B]], a protein that stimulates the release of inflammatory cytokines - proteins that generate pain and fatigue. The drop in cytokines results in less inflammation and oxidative stress.	+	Olmesartan is classified as an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocking (ARB) drug.

	Some have found that olmesartan seems to absorb more quickly by breaking the tablet in two to disrupt the microcoating and/or taking it with a hot drink (e.g. weak tea).

	Based on patient response, there is no evidence to indicate that Olmecip or any other generic is inferior. Olmecip smells differently, but this is due to it having a different binder formulation than the olmesartan made by Sankyo. Also, Olmecip dissolves more quickly, a benefit for MP patients when using frequent dosing.		Based on patient response, there is no evidence to indicate that Olmecip or any other generic is inferior.

	Olmesartan is an unrestricted benefit on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for Australia, meaning that its cost is subsidized by the federal government, and its use is not restricted to a particular condition. At last check, the price of PBS scripts is capped at around $30 and around $4.95 for concession card holders. Unrestricted benefit means that one need not have hypertension to qualify for the subsidy.
