Atacand 8mg Tablets - Hypertension & Heart Failure Medication, 28 Tablets
Atacand 8mg Tablets are formulated with Candesartan, a selective angiotensin II receptor antagonist. This medication is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to improve heart function in patients with heart failure. Candesartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, leading to the dilation of blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart.
Each tablet contains 8mg of Candesartan, an effective dosage for controlling blood pressure and improving heart function. Atacand 8mg is suitable for patients who need a lower dosage or who are starting treatment. By controlling blood pressure, Atacand helps to reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney failure.
