Quick Product Facts Table

Mechanism of Action
Candesartan binds to angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) receptors in vascular smooth muscle, blocking the actions of angiotensin II (a potent vasoconstrictor). This leads to vasodilation, lower aldosterone release, decreased sodium and water retention, and ultimately reduced blood pressure.
