Brief Answer:
Go ahead, take Benadryl at night and Fexofenadine in the morning.

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to HCM,

I think you are asking that you are on Benicar and have developed an allergic rash, and whether anti histaminics can be taken without interaction with it.

Go ahead, take Benadryl at night and Fexofenadine in the morning. There is no interaction with Benicar (Olmesartan).

And it is OK to take both Benadryl and Fexofenadine--split apart in time. There will not be anti histaminic overdose.
