WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
Atacand Plus is intended for the treatment of hypertension, where
monotherapy with candesartan cilexetil or
hydrochlorothiazide is not sufficient.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP
Candesartan cilexetil belongs to a group of medicines called
angiotensin II receptor antagonists, which
works by blocking the effects of the hormone, angiotensin II. It makes
your blood vessels relax and widen,
which contributes to lowering your blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide - belongs to a group of medicines called
diuretics. It works to get rid of water and salts,
such as sodium, through the urinary tract, and this helps lower your
blood pressure.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Dosage _
IN HYPERTENSION_ _
The recommended dose of Atacand Plus is 1 tablet once daily.
Dose titration with the individual components (candesartan cilexetil
and
hydrochlorothiazide) is recommended. When clinically appropriate, a
direct change from
monotherapy to Atacand Plus can be considered. The dose of candesartan
cilexetil
should be titrated before switching to Atacand Plus. Atacand Plus can
be administered
in patients whose blood pressure is not optimally controlled with
candesartan cilexetil or
hydrochlorothiazide monotherapy.
Most of the antihypertensive effect is usually achieved within 4 weeks
after starting
treatment.
Method of administration:
Oral use.
Atacand Plus can be taken with or without food.
The bioavailability of candesartan is not affected by food.
There is no clinically significant interaction between
hydrochlorothiazide and food.
