ATACAND PLUS TB 16MG+12.5MG

Atacand Plus TB 16mg+12.5mg is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: candesartan cilexetil (16mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), a thiazide diuretic (water pill).

Candesartan works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, which helps lower blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide helps reduce fluid retention by increasing the excretion of sodium and water through urine, further contributing to the lowering of blood pressure.

This combination is often prescribed when blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single medication. Atacand Plus is typically taken once daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes is important while taking this medication to ensure its effectiveness and to manage any potential side effects, such as dizziness or changes in electrolyte levels.
