Candesartan

Anti hypertensives

Description

Candesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of a substance in the body that causes the blood vessels to tighten.

Mechanism of action

Candesartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT receptor in many tissues such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland.
