Product Description

Product Name: Cansaar Plus Tablets 16mg+12.5mg

Product Form: Tablets

Pack Size: 20's

Manufactured By: Abbott Laboratories

Used For:

  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): This combination medication is used to treat high blood pressure. Candesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill). Together, they help lower blood pressure more effectively than either drug alone.
  • Heart Failure: In some cases, this combination may also be used to manage heart failure.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Dry cough (more commonly associated with ARBs)
  • Increased urination (due to the diuretic component)
  • Electrolyte imbalances (e.g., low potassium or sodium levels)
  • Elevated blood sugar levels

Less common but more serious side effects may include:

  • Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness)
  • Kidney problems (e.g., changes in urine output, swelling in legs/feet)
  • Severe dehydration
  • Low blood pressure, which may cause fainting

Precautions:

  • Kidney Function: Regularly monitor kidney function, as both Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide can affect renal function.
  • Electrolyte Imbalances: Check electrolyte levels periodically, especially potassium and sodium.
  • Dehydration: Stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol intake, which can exacerbate dehydration.
  • Other Medications: Inform your doctor of all other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
  • Pregnancy: This medication is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
