Micartel 80 Tablet 1*15

Micartel 80 Tablet Overview

Micartel 80 Tablet is prescribed for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and to reduce the chances of heart attack or stroke in adults. It contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood circulation and reducing pressure on the heart.

Key Uses

It is mainly used to control high blood pressure, support heart function in patients with heart failure, reduce the risk of further complications after a heart attack, and lower stroke risk in individuals with factors such as diabetes, high cholesterol, or smoking history.

How It Works

Angiotensin II is a natural substance that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Micartel 80 blocks its action, which keeps the vessels relaxed, improves blood flow, and eases the heart’s workload.

Directions for Use

The tablet can be taken with or without food as directed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with water and take it at the same time every day for best results. Do not crush or chew the tablet.

Possible Side Effects

Some people may experience headache, diarrhea, back or muscle pain, and sinus discomfort. These effects are usually mild and temporary. Consult your doctor if they persist or worsen.

Precautions

Avoid this medicine if you are allergic to Telmisartan. It is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in children. Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, heart problems, or diabetes. Potassium supplements should only be used if prescribed. The medicine may cause dizziness, so avoid driving or operating machinery if affected. Alcohol can further lower blood pressure and should be avoided.

Overdose

Taking more than the prescribed dose may lead to dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention in such cases.

Lifestyle Advice

Follow a low-sodium diet, avoid processed foods, and maintain regular physical activity such as walking, swimming, or cycling. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, avoid smoking, limit alcohol consumption, and manage stress through healthy relaxation methods.
