What is Micardis-Hct used for?

Micardis-Hct is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It contains two active ingredients, telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, which work together to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the amount of water in the body.

How does Micardis-Hct work?

Telmisartan, one of the active ingredients in Micardis-Hct, is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II, which causes blood vessels to narrow. Hydrochlorothiazide, the other active ingredient, is a diuretic that helps the kidneys remove excess water and salt from the body, which also helps to lower blood pressure.

How do I take Micardis-Hct?

What should I do if I miss a dose of Micardis-Hct?
