Candesartan
Candesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker used primarily for managing hypertension. It helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing blood pressure. Candesartan tablets are typically prescribed for individuals who require consistent blood pressure control. This medication may also be utilized in the treatment of certain heart conditions, including heart failure. By maintaining optimal blood pressure, Candesartan reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. The tablets are easy to administer, making them a convenient choice for daily use. Patients are advised to follow their healthcare provider's dosage instructions for optimal results.Active substance:
