The effectiveness of Micardis Plus 80/12.5mg Tablet 10 comes from the combined action of two active ingredients:

• Telmisartan (80 mg): Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the binding of a substance called angiotensin II to certain receptors in your body, such as vascular smooth muscle and adrenal glands. By doing so, it limits the vasoconstrictor (blood vessel narrowing) effects and aldosterone-secreting (a hormone that can increase blood pressure) effects of angiotensin II, which helps reduce blood pressure.
• Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg): This component is a thiazide diuretic. It works by increasing the amount of salt and water your body gets rid of through urine. This reduces the volume of fluid in your bloodstream, which in turn lowers your blood pressure.

• Keep Micardis Plus 80/12.5mg Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 25°C.
• Avoid exposure to light and moisture.
• Keep it out of reach and sight of children for safety reasons.

• Since Micardis Plus 80/12.5mg Tablet 10 manages high blood pressure, try to limit your salt intake. Consuming too much salt can raise blood pressure levels further.
• Regular physical activity is another lifestyle change that can help control hypertension. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week, like brisk walking or cycling.
