Description
Indications
Candesartan is classified as an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and is primarily prescribed for the treatment of hypertension. Its primary goal is to effectively reduce elevated blood pressure, thereby reducing the risks associated with conditions such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and renal complications. It is also utilized in the management of heart failure. Candesartan exerts its therapeutic effects by inducing vasodilation and improving blood flow.
Uses and Dosage
Candesartan is available in tablet form for oral administration. Typically, it is taken once or twice daily, with or without food. Establish a consistent schedule by taking candesartan at approximately the same time each day. Take candesartan precisely as directed, without altering the dosage or frequency unless specifically instructed by your doctor.
Initially, your doctor will likely prescribe a low dose of candesartan, gradually increasing it at intervals of no more than two weeks.
While candesartan effectively manages high blood pressure, it does not cure the condition. Although you may experience a decrease in blood pressure within the first two weeks of treatment, it may take four to six weeks to observe the full benefits of candesartan.
Continue taking the medication even if you feel well. Do not discontinue candesartan without consulting your doctor.
In certain cases, candesartan may be used to address diabetic nephropathy, a kidney disease associated with diabetes and high blood pressure.
Discuss the potential risks of using this medication for your specific condition with your doctor.
