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.
