Micardis HCT (active ingredients: telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Hypertension: Micardis HCT is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It helps lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Micardis HCT belongs to a class of drugs known as combination antihypertensives. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, while hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that helps remove excess fluid and reduce blood pressure.

Micardis HCT is available in tablet form to be taken orally, with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily. Ensure to avoid taking the tablet within four hours of your bedtime to minimize the need to wake up to urinate. If you have any questions about your dosing schedule, do not hesitate to consult your doctor or pharmacist.

The dosage of Micardis HCT is based on how you respond to treatment and the state of your medical condition. However, the usual dosage may be initiated with 40 mg/12.5 mg, 80 mg/12.5 mg once daily, and it can be titrated up to 160 mg/25 mg after 2 to 4 weeks, if necessary. Dosage adjustment is recommended for patients with biliary obstructive disorders or hepatic insufficiency.

Take the tablet at the same time each day to ensure consistent absorption. Do not stop taking the medication even if you feel fine because most people with high blood pressure do not experience any symptoms. It may take up to four weeks before experiencing the full benefits of the drug.

If you are also taking bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol for lowering your cholesterol, take the tablet at least four hours before or four to six hours after taking these medications. In case your condition remains the same or worse, such as constantly high or increasing blood pressure readings, immediately inform your doctor.
