* **olmesartan (Benicar)** – In later stages of the MP, the Vitamin D Receptor, which controls key components of innate immunity, is properly working again and is activated even in the absence of olmesartan. However, olmesartan is still essential to palliate symptoms and protect organs from systemic immunopathology. | * **olmesartan (Benicar)** – In later stages of the MP, the Vitamin D Receptor, which controls key components of innate immunity, is properly working again and is activated even in the absence of olmesartan.
