Micardis Generic Release

The generic equivalent of Micardis tablets (telmisartan) has just been released, following FDA approval. Micardis is prescribed to treat high blood pressure. During the 180-day exclusivity period, multiple companies have received FDA approval to market telmisartan in various strengths.

Generic prescription drugs approved by the FDA have the same high quality and strength as brand-name drugs. Generic prescription drug manufacturing and packaging sites must pass the same quality standards as those of brand-name drugs.

Over the next 30 days, Carlisle Medical will be contacting physicians to inform them that the generic version of Micardis (telmisartan) is available. Management is our focus as we are deeply involved in evaluating generic usage, as well as alternative therapies. We provide this on an ongoing basis through our Prescription Review service.
