ADESAN ® _candesartan cilexetil_ CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET This leaflet answers some common questions about ADESAN. It does not contain all the available information.

KEEP THIS LEAFLET WITH YOUR MEDICINE. You may need to read it again. WHAT ADESAN IS USED FOR ADESAN is a type of medicine called an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (or blocker). ADESAN is used to treat high blood pressure, also called hypertension. ADESAN is also used to treat heart failure. It is used in combination with other medicines to treat your condition. HYPERTENSION: All people have blood pressure. This pressure helps to push blood all around your body. Your blood pressure changes during the day, depending on how busy you are or how you are feeling. You have hypertension (high blood pressure) when your blood pressure stays higher than is needed, even when you are calm and relaxed. Regular blood pressure checks are the only way of knowing that you have hypertension. There are usually no symptoms of hypertension and you may feel fine. If hypertension is not treated, serious health problems such as stroke or heart attack and heart or kidney failure may occur. ADESAN lowers blood pressure by dilating (expanding) small blood vessels from the heart, letting the blood be pumped around the body more easily. HEART FAILURE: Heart failure means that the heart muscle cannot pump blood strongly enough to supply all the blood needed throughout the body. Heart failure is not the same as heart attack and does not mean that the heart stops working.
