User Reviews for Micardis oral

I have only been on this medication for about 3-4 weeks for high blood pressure and I have to get off. I believe it has made me swell (even more)and cause joint pain (knees).

Been on 40 mg for several years.Other rx did not lower blood pressure or gave me a rash. I do have skin problems and muscle cramps which might have been from statins.

This stuff isa killing me - bone & muscle aches, headaches, tired beyond belief at times. I'm getting off this ASAP.

I have used medication for about 2-3 years for HBP. Overall OK. However, have noticed weakness at times as others have indicated. Light-headed, on occasion. The thing that I am concerned with is the tinusitis (ringing in the ears). I read one reviewer who had experienced the same. I am convinced this medication has something to do with it. I was on other BP meds with no such symptoms until I started micardis. Went to ear specialists who did not agree. I wonder has anyone else experienced this ringing in the ears. It is very annoying and would cause me to search for alternative if it is causing the symptoms. BTW, agree blister packs are ridiculous. Surely, they can design something better! Read More Read Less

This works well for use once per day. There is no sudden decrease or elevations in BP once you are on a regular schedule. I have suffered no side effects and my doctor seems quite satisfied with my past few readings.

The last medication I was taking caused me to have a very bad cough. This was a side effect to the drug. Within a few days of staring to take Micardis the cough was pretty well gone.

it works very good and so far i've had no side effects.i've been on it for over a year and i highly recomend it for others to use.

This is a different drug that they are trying on my 17 yr old child. She has tried different bp medication, but can't keep it from spiking. Has not been taking for 5 days but is complaining with back hurting. Anyone else have this problem.

Does anyone experience eye problems with this med? I have been feeling like my eyes are crossed which makes me feel disoriented. Its been occurring most of the day, off and on. More on than off. Not good. I'm on 40mg.

Brings my blood pressure down but have low backpain. Treatment now for one month. Anyone else having back problems? No other symtons.

I have been on this drug for a about 6 weeks and it has lowered my BP to aroun 120/70 from 140/90. I have had days were I felt very tired though. Not sure if it was a result of taking it after missing a day?

Switched from Tiazac 180 which didn't control BP but no side effects. This stuff makes me feel weak and makes my heart beat quickly in spurts. BP even went higher.

I am 63 yrs old and have been on micardusHCT for 3 yrs. I take it in the morning half of a 40mg pill or 20mg. It keeps my blood pressure at a resonably level. If I take 40 mg in 2 or3 days I get light headed.

been taking Micardis for 4 years now.Seems to keep blood pressure in a normal range for most of the day but as the evening goes on and it gets closer to my next dose pressure goes up to about 157/92 (I take my meds at night) Have told The doc this many times did not seemed concerned until my last echo cardigram showed my aortic artery is now measured at a 4.3 diameter and normal is 3.5 this has me very concerned about the length of time Micardis is working for me in a 24 hour period. Don't think I would have noticed this if I took my meds in morning. Well now Ive been put on bystolic a beta blocker just took my first dose tonight. I can't help but think that Micardis has played some part in my aortic artery problem since it was not keeping my pressure down all the time.I would recommend for everyone to check their pressure a couple of hours before your next dose just to be safe. and also after a stressful day your med if working properly should hold your pressure to normal regardless of stress level. wish they would package it to be alittle easier to get out of blister pack.Read More Read Less
