A member asked:
If a person has started taking micardis (telmisartan) since the age of about 40, are there any potential long term side effects of taking it for many years ahead.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It's safe for the long haul but your renal function needs to be checked at least once a year and the dose adjusted if necessary.
