What Is Candesartan Cilexetil 32mg?
Candesartan cilexetil is a prescription medication in the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class, sold under the brand name Atacand.

By relaxing blood vessels, candesartan cilexetil lowers blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart. It is FDA-approved to treat hypertension and to treat heart failure in certain adults with reduced ejection fraction.
