ATACAND is a prescription medication that falls under the category of angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It is primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. By blocking the action of a natural substance in the body called angiotensin II, ATACAND helps to relax blood vessels, which in turn lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
ATACAND 16mg contains Candesartan Cilexetil, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used primarily for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It helps to relax blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
The usual starting dose of ATACAND is 8mg once daily. Depending on the patient's response, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 32mg per day. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and administration.
Common side effects may include:
If you experience severe side effects such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Consult your healthcare provider before taking ATACAND with other medications, especially diuretics, potassium supplements, or other blood pressure medications.
ATACAND is not recommended during pregnancy. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while taking this medication.
