Micardis HCT Information

Micardis HCT is a combinational drug. It is used for the treatment/ management of hypertension. The drug is not recommended for an initial therapy. It consists of 2 drug components. One is a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide) and the other is and angiotensin-II antagonist (telmisartan). The diuretic component of the generic drug shows its effect on the renal tubule, by increasing the chlorine and sodium salt excretion. This reduces the plasma-volume. On the other hand, the angiotensin-II antagonist inhibits the vaso-constriction and helps the smooth muscles to relax. Cheap Micardis HCT is now easily available in a reputed pharmacy.
