Important points from that document include the following:
   * **Do not withdraw olmesartan** – In a critical care situation, it is essential to continue oral olmesartan, even in the presence of hypotension, as abrupt withdrawal can be life-threatening. Along with routine lifesaving procedures, it is essential to continue oral olmesartan 40mg dosing every four hours, with 20mg SL p.r.n., until symptoms subside - even if an NG tube is necessary. If B/P is extremely low (mean arterial pressure <55), continue olmesartan as above and increase fluid volume with 0.9 NS or packed red cells.   * **Do not withdraw olmesartan** – In a critical care situation, it is essential to continue oral olmesartan, even in the presence of hypotension, as abrupt withdrawal can be life-threatening.

-  * **antibiotics** – We strongly recommend patients not be treated with MP antibiotics for an acute infection. Unless patients have reached a late stage of the treatment these antibiotics may greatly increase immunopathology as they leave a patient's system. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics may be tolerated although instances of tendon damage have been reported; the patient should be advised of the FDA black-box warnings.  Cephalosporins, Claforin, and the macrolide Biaxin are usually tolerated.+  * **antibiotics** – We strongly recommend patients not be treated with MP antibiotics for an acute infection.
