User Reviews for Micardis oral

I have been on Micardis 80mg for 10years+ Age 67 male able to exercise daily and kept my B/P down 120/60 heart rate 54bpm I also take Norvasc 2.5 morning and night

It is too expensive for someone living on a fixed income & the package is difficult to open without scissors. The tablet is also sticky when removed from the package.

side effects

I do not like the way this is packaged. I also am retaining fluid, have developed a cough, and am constantly clearing my throat.

after quiet of years taking this medicine I have hives and sometimes tendon inflamation

I am a 70yr old male -- and have taken the micardis for approx 6 nths now and has brought my BP under control, and is an easier alternative for BP Meds. due to be easy for the Kidney and Liver...

A bit drowsiness and weak body at first month but it is okay now

I had so much bone pain, including my hips, so much so that I couldn't even sleep on my back or either side. Regarding my call to my doctors office they called me back and said that this medication didn't cause these kind of symtoms. I called the company and found out differently. Now what do I do? I'm very allergic to medications after my bout with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Don't know yet just started on it

encountered respiratory infection and sinus infection. blood pressure is higher taking medicine.

Works to lower bp when Diovan failed to control.

sore throat, difficulty swallowing, edema in feet and ankles.

I have gained weight while taking this RX. I've been on it almost 1 year, I have gaines about 15-20 pounds.

I had a lot of headaches prior to taking Micardis, now I have very few and the only negative seems to be the muscle aches and back pain fatigue,and a little feeling of tiredness

I have been on and off lisinopril. The cough is too much to continue. I was off all meds and then hit with pneumonia and the nagging cough. My blood pressure was high, 156/87 and I went into afib. I was in afib each week with high blood pressure. Prescribed Micardis and blood pressure sored to 190/96 and I was jittery and trembled. Stayed with it for 5 days but had to quit. Back on Lisinopril, blood pressure within normal but coughing. I pray I will put all my trust in Father God and stop the circle of fear, stress and anxiety and be off drugs totally. Thank you for praying with me.Read More Read Less

I have been on Micardis for 2 weeks after being switched from an ace inhibitor because of a cough. I am 62 years old in fairly good health. Now at the end of week two I have been in the emergency room for pvc's. Have heart palpitations and my blood pressure is in the 97/48 range. My doctor is out of town and my pharmacist told me this evening to quit taking it and go back on my old medication. This drug makes me feel awful!

There is a generic now. Sandoz-Telmisartan 40mg. 46.00 for 100 pills. Had too cut pill in half & take everyother day. Is keeping my BP down. Very tired, dizziness, sore back, ringing in ears, blurry vision at times, irritability, dry skin, constipation. Is it all worth it? not as bad now on 1/2 dose. I'm also on Bisoprolol Furmarate to slow heart rate down because of muscle bridge in heart.

Have been on micardis now for over 3 years-never noticed any symptoms except being tired but figured that was from working--saw all the side effects others were having on this and thought " hmm i have had a few of those " but not thinking it was the drug when actually it might be--just lost insurance and was only paying 20 for a 2 month supply--only to find out its full price w/out insurance is $155 --i will have to go on something else
