Product Overview
About TARO-CANDESARTAN
TARO-CANDESARTAN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient CANDESARTAN CILEXETIL, a non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease.
- Management of heart failure to improve symptoms and reduce the risk of hospitalization.
- Reduction of proteinuria (excess protein in the urine) in patients with diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage caused by diabetes).
Active Ingredient & Action
CANDESARTAN CILEXETIL works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, which is a part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) that regulates blood pressure. By blocking angiotensin II, CANDESARTAN CILEXETIL causes blood vessels to relax and dilate, resulting in a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in cardiac output.
Important Notes
It is essential to use TARO-CANDESARTAN as directed by your healthcare provider and to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to manage hypertension and heart failure. Inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions, including kidney disease, liver disease, or electrolyte imbalances, before starting treatment with TARO-CANDESARTAN. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels is recommended during treatment.
