ATACAND PLUS TB 32MG+25MG

Atacand Plus TB 32mg+25mg is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: candesartan cilexetil (32mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide (25mg), a thiazide diuretic.

Candesartan works by relaxing and dilating blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood. Hydrochlorothiazide helps to reduce fluid retention by increasing the amount of sodium and water excreted by the kidneys, which also contributes to lowering blood pressure.

This combination with a higher dose of both components is typically prescribed for patients who need more intensive blood pressure control. It is usually taken once daily, preferably in the morning, with or without food. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is necessary to check blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels, ensuring the treatment is effective and minimizing potential side effects such as dizziness, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalances.
