MICARDIS HCT Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is MICARDIS HCT?
MICARDIS is the brand name for telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is MICARDIS HCT available in?

What is MICARDIS HCT used for?
MICARDIS HCT is an ARB/thiazide diuretic that is used to treat high blood pressure.
How does MICARDIS HCT work?
MICARDIS HCT is a combination of two medications that help lower blood pressure: Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks a hormone called angiotensin II that tightens blood vessels and causes your body to hold on to more fluid. Both of these actions can raise your blood pressure. Telmisartan helps to relax your blood vessels, which causes your blood pressure to go down. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that makes you urinate more. It works in your kidneys to remove extra water and certain electrolytes (like sodium and potassium), which helps lower your blood pressure.
How do I take MICARDIS HCT?
MICARDIS HCT is typically dosed in ranges from 80 mg/12.5 mg (telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide) to 160 mg/25 mg (telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide) by mouth once daily.
Your dose might differ if you have liver problems.
