Micardis contains telmisartan
How should I use this medication? The recommended dose is 1 tablet once daily

The four days I was on the Micardis alone my BP was fine but the withdrawl symptoms from the beta blocker were horrible
Key takeaways: Angiotensin II receptor blocker medications (ARBs) treat high blood pressure
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB)
Beta blockers affect many areas of the body, including the way the heart functions, so you need to watch for changes in your condition
