Atacand Plus combines candesartan cilexetil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, with hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Together they lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the elimination of excess salt and water from the body.
This combination is intended for adults whose blood pressure remains inadequately controlled with candesartan or hydrochlorothiazide alone. Maintaining healthy blood pressure helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and kidney disease.
