I am now taking micardis with HCT and it is working. I take it at night, and it is terrific to helping me sleep, and with sleep, I am feeling better during the day.

tanyaceree (High Blood Pressure)
I take Micardis 80 mg 12.5 Hctz. It has worked for five years but recently I have had to add 12.5 more Hctz to my daily intake.
Short term use as it didn't work as well as lisinopril. Wasn't on long enough to know about side effects.
