Taking Coveram 5/5 For First Time After Being On Micardis 80+ (Top voted first)

Updated

I had been on Micardis 40 plus for several years and then put on Micardis 80+ for around 2yrs; started to have lots of issues with bp being all over the place and dizzy, tired etc. face flushed, full feeling at any sign of stress. My doctor has put me on the lowest dose of Coveram 5/5 and I am wondering what I can expect initially as Micardis was a different type of blood pressure medication? Many thanks.

Hello, Sue! How are you? I'm happy to help you!

As listed by the NIH, you may experience some rebound blood pressure and heart rate elevations, though they shouldn't hit dangerous levels, since you have replaced it with another medication.

Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, dry cough, increased urination and hypotension.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, what about the libido? Does 5/10 Coveram affect a women's libido? If so, what can be done? Can I just come off it straight away?
