What is Micardis prescribed for?
Micardis is used to treat high blood pressure, which is also known as hypertension. If someone has high blood pressure, it means that their heart is working harder than it should to pump blood around the body. If this continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This could result in damaged blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys which could result in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. This drug is often used as part of combination therapy to treat high blood pressure.
You can buy Micardis online at My Drug Center. We have the Micardis generic, called Telmisartan, available for purchase as well.
How does Micardis work?
Micardis is an oral tablet containing the active ingredient Telmisartan, and it belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by stopping blood vessels from narrowing, which improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure. It also allows your kidney to get rid of excess water and salt, which helps lower your blood pressure.
Directions
Before taking Micardis or the Telmisartan generic, read all the instructions and paper work that given to you by your pharmacist. Your doctor will tell you which Micardis dosage is right for you. The right dose will depend on your age, condition being treated, severity of condition, other medical conditions, and reaction to the first dose. Make sure you take it at the same time each day to create a routine for yourself and to ensure an even spread of the Telmisartan dosage in your system. This medication should be taken on a regular basis to have optimal results. Take Micardis exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change or increase your dose.
