Candesartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Candesartan blocks the action of certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly. Candesartan is sometimes used to treat congestive heart failure.

Candesartan comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once or twice a day with or without food. Take candesartan exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Candesartan controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take candesartan even if you feel well. Do not stop taking candesartan without talking to your doctor.
