Is Micardus Responsible For Burning On One Cheek More Than The Other?
Hi Doctor,My blood pressure correction has been a work in progress for many months. Could Micardus. or Micardus Plus be the cause of the burning on one cheek more than the other. I take Micardis Plus and Captopril in the morning and 1 Captopril at night What blood tests should I have - I also have a scalp reaction to a hair tint/streaks =nothing wrong with the product and now I have to take Zyrtec for 6 wks to get rid of that. Could it all be related. Thankng you Val

Hi Val,
Thanks for your query.
Both: Micardis and Captopril can cause itchiness/burning sensation of skin, including face (but NO effect on the scalp).
If the burning sensation is bothering you, consult your doctor to change the medicines.
Scalp problem is not related to these medicines.
