Hypertension does not go away. Even if you are feeling well and your blood pressure is at goal, you still have to take your medication every day.

MICARDIS comes packaged in blister pack cards with 10 tablets per card and three cards per box. Since MICARDIS is packaged in ready-to-use blister packs with the day of the week stamped across each blister, it is easy to know whether or not a pill has been taken.

Selected important cautionary information

USE IN PREGNANCY
When used in pregnancy during the second and third trimesters, drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and even death to the developing fetus.
When pregnancy is detected, MICARDIS and MICARDIS HCT Tablets should be discontinued as soon as possible (see WARNINGS, Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality).
