Is The Generic Of Benicar As Effective As The Original?

Is the generic of Benicar as effective as the original? I recently switched to Olmesartan, and my blood pressure is currently too high. The Benicar 5 mg seemed to be working perfectly. Shouldn t the generic contain the exact same ingredients? I switched due to the high cost of the prescription Benicar. Thanks! Amy Corwin
