Candesartan Cilexetil
Brand Name: Atacand
Generic name: Candesartan Cilexetil

Candesartan controls high blood pressure. It works by
blocking the effect of a hormone called angiotensin II. Unopposed, this
substance prompts the blood vessels to contract, an action that tends
to raise blood pressure. Candesartan relaxes and expands the blood vessels,
allowing pressure to drop. Candesartan may be prescribed alone or with
other blood pressure medications

You must take Candesartan regularly for it to be effective.
Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be a couple of weeks before
you get significant benefits from Candesartan, and you must continue taking
it even though you feel well. Candesartan does not cure high blood pressure,
it merely keeps it under control.

Candesartan can cause a severe drop in blood pressure,

(water pills). Symptoms include light-headedness, dizziness, and faintness.
Call your doctor if they occur. You may need to have your dose adjusted.
If you have kidney or liver disease, or congestive heart
failure, Candesartan must be used with caution.

No significant drug interactions have been reported.
Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
Candesartan can cause injury or even death to an unborn
child when used during the last 6 months of pregnancy. As soon as you
learn that you are pregnant, stop taking Candesartan and call your doctor.
It is not known whether Candesartan appears in breast
milk, but because of the potential risks to the nursing infant, it's considered
best to avoid Candesartan while breastfeeding. You should decide whether
to give up nursing or discontinue Candesartan.
