Atacand Plus 16/12.5Mg 28Tab

Atacand Plus is a medication used to treat high blood pressure. It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin receptor blockers. It works by reducing blood pressure, which helps lower the risk of heart disease and strokes.

Atacand Plus contains two active ingredients: Candesartan Cilexetil and a diuretic. Candesartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking this effect, the medication helps to widen blood vessels, leading to lower blood pressure. The diuretic also helps reduce fluid retention in the body, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
