Candesartan
Candesartan tablets are primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). As an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), Candesartan helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, which in turn lowers blood pressure. This medication is also beneficial in reducing the risk of strokes and heart attacks. Candesartan is typically taken once daily, and its effects can be seen within a week of starting the treatment. Regular use of Candesartan contributes to long-term cardiovascular health. It is important to adhere to prescribed dosages to maintain optimal blood pressure levels. This medication can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.Active substance:
