"My doctor switched me to Micardis after other drugs failed. He added Bystolic (nebivolol) later as dual drug treatment. They’re working well together. Just measured BP 106/64 is good. I’m a 62-year-old man."

"Been on Micardis 40 mg for over 10 years, have had absolutely no side effects. Blood pressure is perfect, sometimes lower than 120/80."

"Took Micardis 80 mg once a day for 3 weeks. It didn't lower my BP at all. You would think a pill that costs $233.00 per month would do something to lower your BP."

"Micardis has stabilized my blood pressure. I can't take the Micardis with HCT because I have had problems with my kidneys. I do feel less patient and irritable to my wife and kids."

"I have been taking Micardis Plus 40 mg for the past ten years. I think it’s a lifesaver because before that I had tried two different medicines, and my blood pressure was going up and down."

"Started using Micardis HCT 40 mg only 3 days ago, as an initial treatment for high blood pressure. No drastic side effects yet, except for slight dizziness and abdominal pain related to gas (once). I am worried about sexual issues, since there are lots of reports going around saying that Micardis may hamper erectile function. Other reports say exactly the opposite! Will have to test this on a long-term basis. All in all, seems pretty good."
