Description
Micardis Plain 40mg Tablets contain Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. Telmisartan works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure. It is also beneficial for protecting kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Dosage/Directions:
The typical starting dosage for adults is one 40mg tablet taken once daily, with or without food. The dosage may be adjusted by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s response and medical condition. It is important to take the medication at the same time each day and not to exceed the prescribed dosage. Consistent daily intake is advised for optimal results.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, and back pain. Some patients may experience upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, or gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea. Rarely, severe side effects like allergic reactions, muscle pain, or changes in kidney function may occur. If any severe side effects are experienced, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider immediately.
