Cantab Plus contains the active substances Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Candesartan is classified as an angiotensin II antagonist, which functions by inhibiting the effects of the hormone angiotensin II in the body. By blocking the receptors that angiotensin II targets, it prevents its effects. This primarily allows the peripheral blood vessels to dilate, resulting in increased capacity and reduced resistance within these vessels, ultimately lowering the blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, helps prevent excessive salt absorption, contributing to lower blood pressure.

 

The potential side effects include: back pain, stomach pain; dizziness, drowsiness, headache; dry cough; runny or congested nose.

 

More severe side effects may encompass: chest pain, shortness of breath; eye pain, vision issues; feeling faint or fainting; fever; increased thirst, restlessness, confusion, rapid heartbeat; jaundice; decreased urine output.

 

If you have any further inquiries about side effects, we recommend discussing them with your doctor.
