Description
Atacand Tab 8mg contains candesartan cilexetil, which is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure.
It belongs to the class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).
Candesartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten and narrow. By blocking this effect, candesartan helps blood vessels relax and widen, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow.
The medication is typically taken orally once daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional.
Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and increased potassium levels.
Contraindications include pregnancy, severe liver impairment, and hypersensitivity to the drug.
Caution is advised in patients with kidney problems or those taking potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics.
Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes is recommended during treatment.
Tablets should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
