What is Atacand?

Atacand is a blood pressure medication containing candesartan. Candesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) medication and keeps your blood vessels from narrowing. This helps to lower your blood pressure and improves your blood flow. Atacand may also be prescribed to treat heart failure.

• Atacand can be taken with or without food and is typically taken once or twice a day.
