Not Only Enteropathy: The Overlooked “Gastric Side” of Olmesartan

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Several medications can be associated with gastrointestinal adverse effects. Olmesartan has been linked to a broad spectrum of gastrointestinal injuries. Although sprue-like enteropathy is well known, less common involvements such as gastropathy can be equally debilitating. Differential diagnosis can be challenging in individual cases, but in our patient, drug withdrawal led to complete recovery.
