User Reviews for Micardis HCT oral

I have extreme hypertension and this is the only medication that has helped me my whole life.

dizziness and shortness of breath as wellas a feeling that my heart was pounding

first week was dizzy but went away...BP controled!

Blood pressure controlled by medication but side effects were extreme tiredness and insomnia.

Been on Micardis 40mg with HCT 12.5mg for over 3 years. No side effects and good results. Very positive experience.

I have taken Micardis about 2 mo. trying to find less expensive med. One day bp hi next day bp low no consistency. Also have had elavated liver panel since started using as well as elavated sugar levels and cholstrol levels. Dry throat and sinus worsen.

Starting taking this medication to control my BP. Controls it well, but have a nagging dry cough which I had with another BP med and I am tried in the middle of the day. Experienced some weight gain as well.

I was never diagnosed w/high blood pressure, but w/ fluid retention. I am now having toe and finger cramps at times.

I have been using micardis 80/12.5 for seven years and was ok to keep my bp at border line level,not anymore,last week my bp went up to 170 and had to go to ER.looking for a new medication,my MD is trying tribenzor,wish me the best.today is my first day.

leg cramps, shortness of break, lower back pain, headache and hair lost

Been taking this med for over 5 yrs. noticed that hair was thinning and then all my hair fell out. Now wearing a wig. I am diabetic and just found on the website "who should not take this drug. I personally donot think this is a good med for a diabetic. Ringing in ears, can hear my heart beating loudly when i lay down, head is tender to the touch in some areas, hair loss like you won't believe and dr says she doesnt know why my hair has completely fell out. well i do its because of the BP med. Neck and soulder pain (swollen)on both sides of my neck. As of today I am stopping this medication regardless of what my dr says.Read More Read Less

I HAVE BEEN ON MICARDIS HCT 80MG/12.5 FOR OVER TEN YEARS.AN ITS WORKING FINE FOR ME NO MORE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

The drug has worked well for me, been taking it for two years. My problem is, tier 3 on my insurance has gone from $30/mo to $75/mo. I'm looking for a cheap substitute.

tonight will be my first night im kinda picking about taking but i hope it work with no side effect wish me luck

Ive been taking this medication for two weeks, and it feels as though I have the stomach virus X5 after taking this every morning. I have been on many med.'s for my BP and so far I have had side effects to all.

Very good HBP results but have experienced being light headed and insomnia.

The only problem I will be having is I will no longer be able to afford this medications as my husband has passed away and my insurance will run out in a few f months, and I need a generic brand I can afford.
