Micardis HCT Information:
Micardis HCT (generic name: Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It differs from Micardis because it contains HCT, which Micardis does not. The active ingredients are Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor, and it works by stopping the blood vessels from narrowing which increases blood flow and thus lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic water pill that helps to prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. In patients with high blood pressure (hypertension), the blood vessels become restricted which increases blood pressure. This puts a strain on the heart by increasing its need for oxygen, which can be fatal and can lead to heart disease. Many patients with hypertension do not have any symptoms at all, which is why it has been dubbed “the silent killer”, it is therefore recommended that after age 60 you have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis – at least once every 6 months. Some people may experience symptoms such as dizziness and feelings of nausea. Hypertension is more common in women than men and the risk increases with age. Lowering high blood pressure helps reduce the risk of heart disease, angina, stroke and blood clots.
Micardis HCT Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from taking Micardis HCT including stomach pain, diarrhea, back pain, headache, fatigue, dizziness, skin rash, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat and dry cough. More serious side effects may include feeling light headed, fainting, swelling, rapid weight gain, fast or pounding heartbeat, urinating less than usual, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) and increased thirst. If you experience any side effects you must seek medical attention immediately for safety.
Micardis HCT Directions:
You should follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed Micardis HCT to you. Directions and dosage information can also be found on the pack or leaflet inside the pack. Micardis HCT comes in tablet form. You should swallow Micardis HCT whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew tablets as this may result in too much of the drug being released which may have undesirable effects. Micardis HCT should be stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat.
Micardis HCT Precautions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Micardis HCT, you should avoid taking it and inform your doctor. You must consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions including liver or kidney disease, congestive heart failure, asthma or COPD, allergies, low or high magnesium or potassium levels, gout, lupus, diabetes or an allergy to sulfa drugs. You must consult your doctor if you are taking any other medications as they may interact with Micardis HCT, including other blood pressure medications, steroids, lithium, cholestyramine, insulin or diabetic medications, barbiturates, diuretics, aspirin of NSAIDs, muscle relaxers and narcotics. It is important that you inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or breastfeeding as Micardis HCT may cause harm to unborn and new born babies.
