Overview
Atacand Plus Tablets (28 pack) combine candesartan, an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB), with hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, in one convenient daily tablet for high blood pressure that is not controlled by a single medicine. Candesartan relaxes and widens blood vessels while the diuretic helps the body shed excess salt and water. Together lowering blood pressure more effectively than either alone. Atacand Plus is a trusted option for people needing stronger blood pressure control to protect against stroke, heart attack and kidney damage.
Candesartan cilexetil 16mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg per tablet (confirm strength variant on packaging).
