"I took Micardis on and off for over two years. It caused me to have leg cramps. It controlled my blood pressure, but I would avoid taking it at times because of the leg cramps. I developed severe hip and leg pains, which I think may have been caused by the Micardis. I have switched to another blood pressure medicine in the last couple of months and I'm hoping the hip and leg pains will continue to subside."

For High Blood Pressure "Started using Micardis HCT 40mg 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-time basis. All in all, seems pretty good."

For High Blood Pressure "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 62 year old man."

For Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease "Added 20mg to losartan and diuretic. Has helped BP. Now in week three, every kind of flu symptom. I thought it was the beginning of covid until I read the side effects. Everything but the fever. Will see how much longer I can stay on it. Maybe side effects will fade. Had I started at 80mg I’d think I would have been hospitalized."

For High Blood Pressure "Took Micardis 80mg 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."

For High Blood Pressure "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."

For High Blood Pressure "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."
