What Is Candesartan?
Candesartan is prescribed to treat heart failure as well as high blood pressure. It is an angiotensin II antagonist that works by relaxing your blood vessels. This action lowers blood pressure and allows your heart to pump blood easily to various organs of your body. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent kidney problems, strokes, and heart attacks.

Candesartan is in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Candesartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Candesartan is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is sometimes given together with other blood pressure medications. Candesartan is also used to treat kidney problems caused by type 2 (not insulin-dependent) diabetes. Candesartan may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
