Atacand HCT (active ingredients: candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Hypertension: Atacand HCT is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

Atacand HCT belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) combined with diuretics. Candesartan cilexetil works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily, while hydrochlorothiazide helps reduce excess salt and water in the body through increased urination.

Atacand HCT (Candesartan/HCTZ) is available in tablet form and should be taken orally, with or without food, as directed by your doctor. Typically, it is taken once daily. Avoid taking Atacand HCT within 4 hours of bedtime to avoid the need to urinate during the night.

The recommended dosage of Atacand HCT (candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide) depends on the individual’s medical condition and response to treatment. Generally, the usual recommended starting dose of candesartan cilexetil is 16 mg once daily, and the dosage range for hydrochlorothiazide is between 12.5 mg to 25 mg once daily. The optimum therapeutic effect is expected within 4 weeks.

To ensure the maximum benefit from the medication, take it at the same time each day and continue using it even if you feel well. It may take up to 4 weeks to experience the full benefit of this medication. If you have any questions about your dosing schedule, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
