Overview:

Candesartan
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Candesartan, a specific angiotensin II antagonist, is used alone or with other antihypertensive agents to treat hypertension. Unlike the angiotensin receptor antagonist losartan, Candesartan does not have an active metabolite or possess uricosuric effects. For the treatment of hypertension.

Mechanism Of Action:
Candesartan competes with angiotensin II for binding at the AT1 receptor subtype. As angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor which also stimulates the synthesis and release of aldosterone, blockage of its effects results in a decreases in systemic vascular resistance.
