Try these tips to help you remember to take your medication:

Place a reminder where you'll see it first thing in the morning — such as on your bathroom mirror or refrigerator door.
Keep all your medicines together in one place.
Make it a habit to take your medicine at the same time every morning.
Store MICARDIS at room temperature 15°-30°C (59°-86°F). MICARDIS is moisture-sensitive and exposure to moisture causes tablets to become sticky and pliable.
Do not remove tablets from blisters until immediately before administration.

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).
