Description
ZYCARD TAB 16MG contains candesartan cilexetil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure.
Candesartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a natural substance that causes blood vessels to narrow. By blocking this action, it helps relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart.
The medication is available in tablet form, with 16 mg strength.
Dosage typically starts at 8 mg or 16 mg once daily for hypertension and can be adjusted based on the patient’s response, up to a maximum of 32 mg daily. For heart failure, dosing usually starts lower and is gradually increased as tolerated under medical supervision.
Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, or respiratory symptoms such as upper respiratory tract infection symptoms. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of any kidney, liver, or heart conditions before starting treatment, as dose adjustments or monitoring may be necessary.
ZYCARD TAB 16MG should be used according to a healthcare professional’s guidance to ensure effective management of blood pressure or heart failure.
