FAQ

Telmisartan, including Micardis, requires a prescription when purchased from local US pharmacies. Our store policy allows customers to order it without submitting a prescription, and the product can be sent by mail. This store ordering policy does not change the medicine's prescription status in the United States.

Telmisartan can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting from low blood pressure, especially when treatment is started or the dose is changed. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you, and do not drive if you feel dizzy or faint.

The manufacturer for a repeat order cannot be guaranteed. Check the received package label for the manufacturer, active ingredient, strength, dosage form, lot number, and expiration date before use.

A different color, shape, or imprint alone does not prove the tablets are incorrect, because appearance can vary by manufacturer. Compare the package label for telmisartan, the prescribed strength, tablet dosage form, manufacturer, lot number, and expiration date; compare the imprint when one is present. Do not use the tablets until any mismatch in ingredient, strength, dosage form, imprint, seal, or condition has been resolved.

Store the tablets at 77°F; temporary excursions from 59°F to 86°F are permitted. Keep tablets in their blister package and remove a tablet only immediately before taking the dose.

Telmisartan is taken by mouth, usually once daily, at about the same time each day. It may be taken with or without food; food can slightly reduce absorption but does not prevent use. The prescribed strength and dose should be followed rather than changed based on blood pressure readings alone.

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker used to treat high blood pressure. In selected adults at high cardiovascular risk, it may also be used to reduce cardiovascular risk when a clinician considers it appropriate.

Dizziness or lightheadedness can occur, particularly if blood pressure falls too low. Telmisartan can also raise potassium levels or affect kidney function in susceptible people. Seek urgent care for facial, lip, tongue, or throat swelling, trouble breathing, or fainting.

Description

Micardis is prescribed to treat hypertension. This medication widens blood arteries by relaxing them and inhibiting the angiotensin hormone. Keeping your blood pressure under control can help you prevent heart attacks, strokes, and renal problems. In addition to treating congestive heart failure, Micardis can help prevent kidney damage brought on by diabetes.

This medication may be prescribed by your doctor for different reasons. If you would like additional information on this medication, contact your doctor.

Before Treatment

Consult a physician if any of the following apply to you or have previously affected you: an uncommon or allergic response to preservatives, foods, medications, dyes, ACE inhibitors like captopril or lisinopril, or Micardisliver or kidney illness; cardiac issues; diabetes; elevated potassium levels in the blood; extreme dehydration (and electrolyte loss, including sodium depletion).

Adverse Reactions

In case you observe any of the following, get in touch with your doctor right away.

Serious side effects include hives, itching, breathing difficulties, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and skin rash from allergies, decreased libido and fainting, and variation in the urination volume.

Less severe adverse effects include weakness and back pain, lightheadedness, hazy eyesight, increased perspiration, dizziness, and fatigue.

There could be other negative effects; this is not a complete list. Tell your doctors about all the side effects you encounter.

Precautions

Tell your surgeon that you are taking this medication if you plan to have surgery. Refrain from using potassium supplements or salt replacements unless advised by your doctor. Observe the dietary recommendations of your doctor.

If you are attempting to become pregnant, nursing a child, or are pregnant, speak with your doctor. Take care when standing or sitting up, especially if you are an elderly patient. This lowers the chance of feeling lightheaded or fainting.

Customer questions

Asked by Erin Wallace, Seattle, United States

I have been taking Micardis 40 mg in the United States. Can I replace it with the telmisartan tablets on this page?

Answered by Support team

A replacement can be considered only if the package or prescription confirms the same active ingredient, 40 mg strength, and oral tablet dosage form. Manufacturer, tablet appearance, packaging, and inactive ingredients may differ, so compare those details on the label rather than relying on the name Micardis alone.

Asked by Danielle Brooks, Columbus, United States

I take telmisartan for high blood pressure and just had a positive pregnancy test. Is it safe to keep taking it until my next appointment?

Answered by Support team
Medical reviewed by Wendy Hayes

Telmisartan should be avoided during pregnancy because medicines that act on the renin-angiotensin system can seriously harm a developing fetus. Contact the clinician managing your blood pressure promptly for an alternative treatment plan.
