Candesartan + Hydrochlorothiazide

Uses of Candesartan + Hydrochlorothiazide

This combination medication is indicated for the management of hypertension, combining the antihypertensive effects of candesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), with the diuretic action of hydrochlorothiazide.

Candesartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide enhances the antihypertensive effect by promoting diuresis, reducing blood volume and thus lowering blood pressure.

Side Effects of Candesartan + Hydrochlorothiazide

Common side effects may include dizziness, hypotension, electrolyte disturbances, and renal impairment.
