Micardis HCT (Telmisartan/Hydrochlorothiazide)

Micardis HCT is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains two main ingredients: telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Telmisartan belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide is a “water pill.” It increases the volume of urine you make, especially when you first start the medication. It also helps to relax the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily.

Micardis HCT generic is available at Canada Pharmacy at the best price.
