User Reviews for Micardis oral

This med did not lower my blood pressure. I can list up to 20 side effects that I experienced using this drug (40mg) for 52 days. I stopped 84 hours ago and all have stopped or greatly reduced. My blood pressure is again in normal (125/65 rate63)range. On Mycardis it was 147/55,rate60 variable with PVC's. I list most of the side effects: headache, rash, swallowing difficulty, Cough, low urine, constipation, sinus infection, sneezing, nosebleeds, irritable moods,low energy, vision blurring, vertigo, numbness in hands, weight gain, irregular heartbeat, whole body pains&soreness, swollen prostate, swollen lips, and towards 49th day a fear of imminent death. Note that I did not read any of the side effects literature until my 52nd day when I immediately stopped Mycardis. Be very careful of this drug.Read More Read Less

Great drug. No hair loss, not sick and no back pain. people that have problems with this drug are overreacting.Maybe they have a lot more peoblems then HTN. Dont go by them, its a safe and has very low side efects.

If they could only do something with the blister packs. They raise your bp just to get the pill out Finally a b.p. drug without the hacking cough associated with Lisinopril and other generic ace drugs. I have not had any of the side effects mentioned in alot of these reviews. My doctor and I are quite satisfied with the resulting lowered bp.

I was put on this drug before minor surgery, I suffered 6mos. of diarrhea, my Dr. thought it was from the hospital stay, after 6mos. my face swelled up, all are possible side effects which stopped after the drug was stopped. The bowl problem continues because of the of loss of muscle tone.

This drug worked well in lowering and controlling my high blood pressure. However, it caused my hair to thin and fall out terribly. I had to stop taking it for that reason.

Long time user effective no side effects

First of all, this medication causes me to lose all my energy at top of lower back pains, and what's worst and it might sound gross but since I was started on it about a month ago, It has increased my stools from once(1) every day to numerous(5-7) times per day. Secondly, I don't know about every where else but here in Texas, it is above $100 for a thirty(30) day supply which for me is a little too steep in price.

Expensive but works for me. Just doctor to take me off because of cost; no generic.

SEVERE TIREDNESS RAISED POTASSIUM LEVEL ENERGY GONE AM GOING TO STOP DRUG I WANT TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN MUSCLE ACHES UNREAL

Be carefull of alpha lipoic acid it makes telmisartin more powerfull ...dont take more than 50 mg of ala (25 mg is better) I have cut my of Micadis from 40 mg to 20 mg..and it works better than ever

Too expensive and many side effects. Lower Back pain, stomach pain, lightheadedness.

Too expensive and packaging is really a bummer! Does anyone share my feeling that it affects vision?

I have been taking Micardis for 4 years after starting with Lisinopril/HCTZ (horrible drug!). It has brought my BP down from 180/112 to 118/68. But, my hair is thinning, I am always tired, any exertion causes me to feel like my chest will explode, and it causes excessive sweating (not great for a woman in menopause) and the blister pack is a pain to get into! This is the only BP med I am on at 40mg once a day but I am starting to "get tired" of the side effects. For me, cost is nominal since we have very good insurance but I was told by my doctor that there will be a generic version coming out in 2013. I am going to file my side effects with the FDA just in case.Read More Read Less

Started it 2 days ago and am feeling really sick. Every time I stand up I feel like I am going to pass out. Really bad ringing in my ears Wow!! I am wondering if it is worth it??

My satisfaction with this drug would be improved if I, as a female, did not have to trade improved blood pressure for baldness. This is a definite - and NOT rare - side effect if the forums of hundreds (possibly thousands) of women including me are to be believed. Being told we should be grateful by an idiot male doctor who has no idea how devastating this is for women is the final insult.

initially, I had very bad low back pain but after taking this medication for a week, I had no side effect of back pain
