CANDESARTAN 8mg Tablets - 28 Count

Product Overview

CANDESARTAN is a potent antihypertensive medication belonging to the class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). Each tablet contains 8 mg of candesartan cilexetil, which works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and thereby lowering blood pressure.

Candesartan is also indicated in the treatment of heart failure, helping to reduce symptoms and prevent disease progression. It is a trusted option for patients requiring long-term management of cardiovascular conditions.
