User Reviews for Micardis oral

Has reduced my blood pressure to about 110/70, no major side effects, no cough like my first meds, actually decreased my dose... just a bit of a chore to get into the blister pack. There is a discount from your deductible (20) per month for a year from the company, ask your doctor.

It has worked well to control my HBP. My only concern is when I exercise or go up stairs. By the time I reach the top of 40 steps it feels like my chest is going to explode. Other than that it has worked great.

Only brought my pressure down a small amount, I take 40 mg, so my dr said to also take Norvasc 5 mg the Micardis protects the kidneys and I have Type 11 diabetes. This has worked very well 123/81

Expensive for patients with no insurance. Tried other meds that didn't work. Wish there was a discount program out there.

I have small headace when takinng. but my blood pressure has been under 120/80.

ok

Much preferable to the 1st drug I took for HBP, Vasotec. Vasotec left me feeling tired, fatigued & unwilling to execise as I normally did, despite a low 5 mg dose. No side effects with Micardis after almost 3 years, maybe a slight increase in itchiness, but am not really sure. Best thing is HBP is under control !

makes me light headed

i thought iwas gonna die when my doc diagonised hypertension, that changed when i started taking this drug

I've been on Micardis for a few months, with very good results as far as BP numbers go. However, I have had horrible muscle cramps, including feeling like I "threw my back out" after NOT having injured it. I didn't realize that these symptoms were potential side effects of this medicine until recently. I will likely not discontinue use of it as I have had otherwise positive results.

Take for highblood pressure

With Micardis, my blood pressure changed in a short amount of time. I was "back to normal" so to speak 120/80 in about 4 weeks upon my revisit to the doctor. I haven't experienced any side effects thus far and believe that this drug works for HBP for those that can take it depending on case by case basis.

This drug has caused the most minor injury or small pin size skin puncture to bleed out of control. Even when I applied a bandage or pressure it did not stop the bleeding immediately but took abotu 15 to 20 min. This drung really worked to control my blood pressure and I had no side effects other than this bleeding problem which really worried me. The only other problem was the difficulty I had getting this drug out of the blister packets because of my arthiritis in my hands.

My creatinine level has decreased with this drug--however, my blood pressure has increased and fluctuates quite a bit daily. Before Micardis, it ran around 110-115/50-60. Now it isn't unusual for it to run 130-140/60-100.

Taking this medication along with tarka 420 my blood pressure has stayed around 117/75 for over 3 years.

Started taking drug 4months ago after a prolonged use of Hyzaar and found this to be working quite well. Previously was subject to spiking of B/P to stroke levels, but despite extreme stress situations, moving, husband repeatedly hospitalized, I have not had any problems and have been maintaining a BP of 120/80 for past 3 months.
