1	Joanne Says: Report Abuse Tuesday, 5/13/2008 4:14:10 PM My new cardiologist has prescribed Micardis HCT to replace Triam HCTZ. My blood pressure has always been fine using Triam HCTZ and Atenolol. This new drug costs more ansd seems to list a lot of side effects. I'd like to know what experience others have had with Micardis HCT. Thanks

In most cases, they are prescribing something new because some drug rep from the company bopped into their office and talked them into it. They got free samples, free gifts, free pens, whatever. It really doesn't matter that a newer med is really a great unkown, the drug reps tell them it is great, so they start writing scrips for it.

4	Bill Says: Report Abuse Friday, 10/10/2008 7:45:16 PM I have been taking Micardis HTC 80mg/12mg for eight years. I saw a program on TV where a doctor recommended a caller that it was better to take blood pressure medicine in the evening. I had been taking this medicine in the morning. Is there any additional benefit taking this drug at night?
