Candesar 8 Tablet contains candesartan (8 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Angiotensin II Receptor Blockade: Candesartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a chemical that causes blood vessels to narrow, by preventing it from attaching to its receptors.

• Blood Vessel Relaxation: By blocking angiotensin II receptors, this medicine allows your blood vessels to relax and widen, which enhances blood flow throughout your body.

• Blood Pressure Reduction: The widening of blood vessels reduces vascular resistance (the force opposing blood flow), which directly lowers your blood pressure.

• Heart Workload Decrease: With reduced resistance in your blood vessels, your heart doesn't need to work as hard to pump blood, which improves its pumping efficiency.

• Kidney Protection: Candesartan helps maintain kidney function by reducing pressure in the tiny blood vessels of your kidneys, which is particularly beneficial if you have diabetes.

• Store Candesar 8 Tablet at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine in a dry place, protected from light and moisture.

• Store in the original packaging to protect from environmental exposure.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and do not use after this date.

• Reduce your salt intake by avoiding processed foods and not adding extra salt to meals, as high sodium levels can worsen high blood pressure (hypertension).

• Exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes most days of the week—activities like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling help lower blood pressure and improve heart function.
