Sprue-like enteropathy associated with olmesartan is a recently described and recognized disease.This condition should be suspected in patients taking olmesartan who have chronic diarrhoea, intestinal villous atrophy and negative serology for coeliac disease, or an absent response to a gluten-free diet.Early suspicion of olmesartan's enteropathy can reduce the associated morbidity and avoid costly investigation.
