CandCris 8 (Candesartan Cilexetil) 8mg Tablets
CandCris 8 is an effective oral medication containing 8mg of Candesartan Cilexetil. It belongs to a group of medicines called Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs). This medication is primarily prescribed to help manage systemic hypertension (high blood pressure) and symptomatic heart failure in adults.
How CandCris 8 Works
Candesartan Cilexetil works by blocking the action of certain natural substances that tighten the blood vessels. By allowing the blood vessels to relax and widen, CandCris 8 helps to lower blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. For patients with heart failure, it helps the heart pump blood more easily throughout the body.
Why Choose CandCris 8?
As a high-quality generic alternative to the innovator brand Atacand, CandCris 8 provides the same therapeutic benefits at a more affordable price point in Nigeria. Each pack contains 28 tablets, sufficient for a standard four-week treatment cycle when taken as directed by your healthcare provider.
