Overview
Advant 16mg Tablets (14 pack) contain candesartan, an angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Candesartan blocks a natural hormone that tightens blood vessels, allowing them to relax and widen so blood pressure falls and the heart's workload eases. In heart failure it helps the heart cope and improves symptoms over time. The 16mg strength is a common maintenance dose. Once-daily and well tolerated, Advant offers steady, 24-hour blood-pressure control for people with hypertension or heart failure.
Active: Candesartan cilexetil 16mg per tablet. (Confirm active on packaging.)
