Atacand (active ingredient: candesartan) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Atacand is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children aged 1 to 17 years. Lowering blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
  2. Heart Failure: It is also indicated for the treatment of heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class II-IV) in adults with left ventricular systolic dysfunction to reduce cardiovascular death and hospitalization due to heart failure.

Atacand belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which work by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily.

Atacand is a medication that usually comes in tablet form and can be taken orally with or without food as directed by your doctor. The typical dosing varies based on your medical condition and response to treatment, and in children, it is also based on weight.

Take Atacand regularly to get the maximum benefit from the medication, and to take it at the same time(s) every day to help you remember. Even if you begin to feel well, keep taking this medication as prescribed by your doctor. For high blood pressure patients, it may take up to six weeks to experience the full benefits of this drug.

  • For Adults with High blood pressure: The typical starting dose is to take 16 mg by mouth once daily. The typical maintenance dose ranges from 8 mg to 32 mg daily total, either taken once daily or split into smaller doses and taken twice daily.
  • Children (age 6 to 17 years old): The typical starting dose ranges from 4 mg to 16 mg by mouth once daily, depending on your body weight. Your provider will adjust your dose based on how well this medication lowers your blood pressure. The typical maintenance dose ranges from 2 mg to 32 mg daily total, either taken once daily or split into smaller doses and taken twice daily.
  • Children (age 1 to less than 6 years old): Your child’s provider will determine the dose for your child based on their body weight. The typical dose ranges from 0.05 to 0.4 mg/kg by mouth daily.
  • For Adults Heart Failure: The typical starting dose is 4 mg by mouth once daily. Your provider will slowly raise your dose over time. The typical recommended maintenance dose is 32 mg once daily.
