Atacand (Candesartan Cilexetil) Information

Atacand, which contains the active ingredient candesartan cilexetil, is an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB). It is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. It is also indicated for the treatment of heart failure (NYHA class II-IV) in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, usually given as adjunct therapy with other heart failure treatments like beta-blockers and diuretics. Candesartan cilexetil is an orally administered prodrug that is rapidly and completely converted to the active drug, candesartan, during gastrointestinal absorption. Unlike many antihypertensives, its dosing is typically once daily, which supports patient adherence to the treatment regimen.

The mechanism of action for candesartan is precise and involves blocking the effects of the powerful hormone Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) and stimulates the release of aldosterone, which causes the body to retain sodium and water. Candesartan works by selectively blocking the binding of Angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor found in many tissues, including vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal glands. By blocking this receptor, candesartan effectively counteracts Angiotensin II's actions: it promotes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), thereby reducing systemic vascular resistance, and decreases aldosterone secretion, promoting the excretion of sodium and water. These effects collectively result in sustained reductions in blood pressure and heart workload, which are beneficial in heart failure.
