User Reviews for Micardis HCT oral

i have taken this for almost 3 years, it got my bp down to normal, but the side effects were terrible. hives and rash jyper active, dizzy, swelling in hands, happens most at night no sleep. if you take pain killers and anti inflamitory meds do not take this!!!!!!!!

Recently bumped up to 80/25mg. It has worked perfectly on reducing my bp but started having some issues with sinuses, hemmroids, and gout. Finally got around to reading the paperwork inside the box and it says all are side effects with drug. Consulting with doctor to change medicine.

has controlled my blood pressure effectively

This medication has been helpful for me. I had good results within a few days of using it. I did not experience any side effects, which is wonderful. For the past 8 months, my medication had to be changed 4 times due to unbearable side effects. The only problem I have with this medication is its price. It is expensive even with my insurance coverage.

I have been this medication for about 2and half years, I have been getting sick to stomach, headaches and lightheadedness. going to the doc tomorrow to find out whats going on.. I think it the med..

i was the guy who wrote on a review down below about my first day. well here i am about 4 weeks later and my bp dropped to the best of 123 over 96. it never went further than that yet, but this drug is good and the swelling in my hands went totally down and i have no headaches anymore. i am going to stop smoking next week (try anyway) but by doing that that should lower my pressure back to normal. i took a blood test, ekg, a chest xray and a physical yesterday so maybe something could be wrong because of my high blood pressure , but ill wait and see. wish me luck. i think smoking has alot to do with it though. all in all though this drug did its job. no swelling ,headaches, and i am not tired anymore. i highly recommend this drug for high blood pressure! hope this helps. take care, kennyRead More Read Less

I was taking 80/12.5mg dr increased to 80/25mg it has only been a couple of days but I am tired after taking it. I will give it a few more days to see if it pass. The cost is also pricey but dr gave me a card form Beohringer Ingelheim called MyCard and it only cost me $20.

Is effective in lowering BP; however, I have an increased incidence of UTI's since taking this medication.

may be to strong my bp went to 90/57 after 3 doses went to every other day with fairly good results

just started bp 1st day 201/143 extreme swelling in hands tiredness, 2nd day bp 181/134 hand swelling going down less worried. my weight is 260 planning on quiting smoking and loosing weight 38 years old. will my blood pressure ever go down to normal? will i ever come off these pills? i am really nervous about my health now seeing what a bad heart can do. my father died 2 years ago from blockages. this medication is helping but wish it would bring my pressure down to normal by day 2 lol. a little note: dont go off it when feeling better because when i did my pressure went up and my hands swelled again, i did have once adominal pain and thats why i stopped the meds on my own. i started again and all is ok. i feel better , no headaches, and no more hard breathing going up stairs. i do feel different on this medication. i feel that my heart is being less taxed. i recommend this drug to anyone at this point. i just want to see when my pressure will go to normal levels. hope this helps.

have only taken since Sunday evening and this is Wednesday. I started having a backache and seemingly sinus drainage with a headache. I dont know if I should continue I am 65 and dont want this drug to cause kidney problems. I was on Hyzaar fo rmany years and am switching because my prescription company will no longer have Hyzaar on its formulary and the cost is over $140.00. Anyone else experience the backache and even headache?

dizziness and nausea frequently, must drink plenty of water or you will get dehydrated

It has lowered my bp too low. Also feel woozy, and tired, and lightheaded. Also, my memory is hard to access....even a word naming an object in front of me is hard to access...and I am only 44. Will tt doctor.

Good for lowering blood pressure but am diabetic and my glucose levels have risen. Dr. won't change med because he believes Micardis is better for kidneys.

I was severely allergic. Swelling on one side of my throat and feeling like it would burst or I would stroke out. Also very sore back and arm muscles and tired feeling.

seemed to develope a cough. has anyone else experienced this?

Dose was increased to 160/25 and now I have developed double vision and my left eye jumps and turns inward. I feel tired a lot. My b/p is controlled but I can not tolerate this disruption in my vision. It was helpful to read that someone else had eye problems. Anyone else out there with this problem??

MY BLOOD PRESSURE WENT FROM 180/94. TO 130/76, I'M VERY PLEASED.

Blood pressure normal & swollen ankles down.
