Specializes in Family Medicine

Micardis (telmisartan) ADR : Difficulty sleeping is not a common or known adverse reaction to Micardis (telmisartan) but it is always possible. Difficulty sleeping can be caused by many things, like stress, depression and other medication you may be taking. Discuss this with your family doctor and i'm sure together you'll resolve this issue.
