Description
Advant Tabs (Candesartan Cilexetil) are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. Candesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the heart’s workload.
Dosage/Directions: The typical starting dose for adults with hypertension is 16 mg once daily, which may be adjusted based on the patient’s response. For heart failure, the initial dose is usually 4 mg once daily, gradually increased to a target dose of 32 mg once daily as tolerated. It’s important to take Advant Tabs at the same time each day, with or without food.
Side Effects: Common side effects include headache, dizziness, fatigue, and upper respiratory infections. Serious side effects can include kidney problems, high potassium levels, and severe allergic reactions. If you experience any severe side effects, seek medical attention immediately.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and consult them if you have any concerns or questions about taking Advant Tabs.
