1. WHAT MICARDIS PLUS IS USED FOR
Micardis Plus is used to treat high blood
pressure (essential hypertension) in
patients whose blood pressure is not
controlled enough when either
telmisartan or hydrochlorothiazide is
used alone.
2. HOW MICARDIS PLUS WORKS
Micardis Plus 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 blockers. 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.
3. BEFORE YOU USE MICARDIS PLUS
