Micardis Plus is used to treat a range of health conditions related to high blood pressure. It is an effective medication in lowering high blood pressure levels and preventing serious complications associated with it.
Micardis Plus works by combining two active ingredients: Telmisartan, which is a drug from the angiotensin II receptor antagonist class, and Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a type of diuretic. Telmisartan helps expand blood vessels and improve blood flow, which helps reduce pressure on the vessel walls. Hydrochlorothiazide works by increasing the body's excretion of excess fluids and sodium through the kidneys, which reduces the volume of fluids in the bloodstream and thus further lowers blood pressure.
