Subject: In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash
HCT is hydrochlorothiazide and when together, Benicar HCT means hydrocholorthiazide.

Hopefully this clears it up.

No they are 3 separate views.
It is the sentence structure that is confusing. Three individual views, but once the word views gets put into the sentence it becomes plural and without the word views it is regarded as singular.
