Candesartan is used to lower blood pressure and thus reduce strain on the heart, making it an effective treatment for hypertension and heart failure. It is often used with other medications to treat the same conditions, though it also effective on its own. The medication can be used in all ages.

This product is more widely recognized by the brand names Atacand or Amias, though it's also possible to buy candesartan as a generic.

Candesartan for Cardiovascular Health

Candesartan works by keeping blood vessels dilated, which allows blood to flow more freely through them. This both lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload, which in turn reduces the likelihood of experiencing the catastrophic consequences associated with high blood pressure or heart failure:

• Reduces incidence of heart attack
• Reduces incidence of stroke
• Spares the kidneys from high blood pressure damage
• Reduces overall mortality from above causes

In both trials and real-world use, patients taking candesartan have shown significant reduction of serious cardiovascular events.

Candesartan can begin providing benefit even in pre-hypertension, slowing or even halting the progression to hypertension. This is even more likely if lifestyle changes are also adopted, though in some cases lifestyle is not the leading cause of the problem.

What to Expect from Treatment

Most patients buy candesartan to treat hypertension or heart failure; the medication does see some other applications but this is unusual enough that treatment cannot be generalized.

In both heart failure and hypertension the medication is typically administered by tablets, taken once or twice per day. A pharmacist can produce an oral suspension for those unable or---as is often the case with younger patients---unwilling to swallow tablets.

In otherwise healthy adults treating hypertension, treatment is typically as follows:

• If not taking other medications, start with 16 mg taken once or twice per day.
• Results should be evaluated after two weeks of treatment.
• If needed dose may be increased up to 32 mg, taken once or twice per day.
• If effects are not sufficient at 32 mg per day, adding another anti-hypertension medication is likely to be more effective than further increasing dosage of Atacand.

Treatment for heart failure is a little different; the target dose is 32 mg per day provided no disruptive side effects are experienced at higher doses:

• Start with 4 mg taken once per day.
• After 2 weeks results should be evaluated and dosage doubled if no serious side effects develop.
• Dosage may be doubled every two weeks up to 32 mg per day, provided no adverse effects develop.

In both cases treatment is typically long term, often for the remainder of life. If treatment does end it should not do so abruptly; gradually tapering down dosage over several weeks is recommended.

Adverse Effects

Most patients experience only mild side effects, and these are typically transient---they stop occurring over time as the body adjusts to treatment. Most common are:

• Sneezing, runny or stuffy nose
• Cough
• Headache
• Sore back
• Dizziness
• Joint pain
• Lack of energy

Weakness, tiredness, dizziness and other signs of low blood pressure may be experienced at the start of treatment or following dosage adjustments. These should stop as the body adjusts to its new lower blood pressure.
