WHAT MICARDISPLUS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
MicardisPlus is a combination of two active substances, telmisartan
and hydrochlorothiazide in one
tablet. Both of these substances help to control high blood pressure.
-
Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II
receptor antagonists.
Angiotensin-II is a substance produced in your body which causes your
blood vessels to narrow
thus increasing your blood pressure. Telmisartan blocks the effect of
angiotensin II so that the
blood vessels relax, and your blood pressure is lowered.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide
diuretics, which cause your
urine output to increase, leading to a lowering of your blood
pressure.
High blood pressure, if not treated, can damage blood vessels in
several organs, which could lead
sometimes to heart attack, heart or kidney failure, stroke, or
blindness. There are usually no symptoms
of high blood pressure before damage occurs. Thus it is important to
regularly measure blood pressure
to verify if it is within the normal range.
MicardisPlus is used to treat high blood pre
