Patients suffering from liver & kidney disorders should confront the pharmacist. It is important to explain the patient’s medical history to the doctor so that doctor can understand, prescribing this medicine will be appropriate for the patient or not. If any other medicines are followed by the patient, even that needs to be disclosed in order to avoid drug interaction. Allergies to any of the ingredients on label may also cause negative reactions. Taking Telmisartan (Generic Micardis) during pregnancy strictly needs to be avoided as it will affect the renin-angiotensin, which as a result can not only cause serious injuries and arrest the development of the fetus but also can lead to death of the fetus. It is not yet proved whether this medicine passes through breast milk therefore nursing mothers’ needs to consult the medical practitioner before taking Telmisartan.
