prevention of cardiovascular disease
"I have been on Micardis HCT (telmisartan/hydrocholorothiazide) for over 5 years.  Lately my urine output has been less and I've developed a cough and leg cramp.  The leg cramp I assumed was from strain from exercise and the cough from dust due to construction work in the neighborhood.  However, after both conditions subsided the symptoms were still there. I checked the post marketing experience for Micardis and these symptoms were adverse signs.  Will consult with my physician as the warning says these symptoms should be reported immediately."
