Description
Candesartan 16mg tablets (UK generic) are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. They help reduce the risk of complications such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
Candesartan belongs to the class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow. By relaxing the blood vessels, it lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
The tablets are taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food. The exact dosage may vary depending on the patient’s condition and response to treatment, as determined by a healthcare provider.
Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, tiredness, or gastrointestinal symptoms. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to candesartan or similar drugs, severe kidney impairment, or during pregnancy. Caution is needed in certain medical conditions, and regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is advised.
Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications they are taking to avoid potential interactions.
