Micardis Plus 80/12.5 mg 28 Tab

Description

Micardis Plus 80/12.5 mg 28 Tab is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: telmisartan (80mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), a thiazide diuretic. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). The combination of these two medications works synergistically to lower blood pressure more effectively than either medicine alone. Key information includes:

• Combination Therapy: Contains telmisartan, which relaxes blood vessels, and hydrochlorothiazide, which helps the body get rid of extra salt and water, both contributing to lower blood pressure.
• Telmisartan 80mg: An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents the narrowing of blood vessels.
• Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg: A thiazide diuretic that increases the excretion of sodium and water from the body, reducing blood volume and pressure.
• 28 Tablets per Pack: Provides a four-week supply when taken once daily.
• Treatment of Hypertension: Micardis Plus is used to manage high blood pressure in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with telmisartan alone.
• Prescription Medication: Micardis Plus requires a prescription from a doctor. Dosage is individualized based on blood pressure levels and patient response.
• Dosage and Administration: The usual dose is one tablet taken orally once daily. It can be taken with or without food. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
• Potential Side Effects: Common side effects may include dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. Serious side effects are rare but can occur. Report any unusual symptoms to your doctor.
• Important Precautions: Inform your doctor about any kidney or liver problems, heart failure, gout, diabetes, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Certain medications may interact with Micardis Plus, so it’s important to provide a complete list of your medications to your doctor. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and electrolytes may be necessary.
