Abstract

Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used for the treatment of blood hypertension. Long-term use has been associated with diarrhea and sometimes intestinal involvement may mimic enteropathies such as celiac disease. Clinicians should consider drugs within the differential diagnosis of enteropathies. We report the case of a female who sought medical help for malabsorptive symptoms and was finally diagnosed with olmesartan-associated gastritis and atrophic enteropathy.
