<strong>MICARDIS</strong> MyCARD <br />
Lower Your BP. Lower Your Cost.<br />
• Patients never pay more than $20 for<br />
a 30-day prescription of <strong>MICARDIS</strong> or<br />
<strong>MICARDIS</strong> HCT, whether paying with<br />
cash or using insurance<br />
• No forms, rebates, or coupons<br />
• Works at all retail pharmacies<br />
for 12 months<br />
• Program works regardless of<br />
insurance, excluding Medicare,<br />
Medicaid, and other federal- or state-funded programs<br />

<strong>MICARDIS</strong> and <strong>MICARDIS</strong> HCT are indicated for the treatment of hypertension.<br />
<strong>MICARDIS</strong> HCT is not indicated for initial therapy.<br />
<strong>MICARDIS</strong> and <strong>MICARDIS</strong> HCT are contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to any of<br />
their components. <strong>MICARDIS</strong> HCT is contraindicated in patients with anuria or hypersensitivity to<br />
other sulfonamide-derived drugs.<br />
USE IN PREGNANCY<br />
When used in pregnancy during the second and third trimesters, drugs that act directly<br />
on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and even death to the developing<br />
fetus. When pregnancy is detected, <strong>MICARDIS</strong> and <strong>MICARDIS</strong> HCT Tablets should be<br />
discontinued as soon as possible (see WARNINGS, Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality).<br />
Thiazides cross the placental barrier and appear in cord blood. There is a risk of fetal or<br />
neonatal jaundice, thrombocytopenia, and possibly other adverse reactions that have occurred<br />
in adults.<br />
With <strong>MICARDIS</strong> monotherapy and other<br />
angiotensin II receptor blockers and ACE inhibitors<br />
in general, BP response in Blacks is noticeably<br />
less than in Caucasians.
