Description
Casark (Candesartan Cilexetil) Tablets 8 mg. №30
A highly effective medication for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure, Casark (candesartan cilexetil) tablets contain candesartan cilexetil, a potent angiotensin II receptor antagonist designed to help manage cardiovascular health.
Composition
The active ingredient in Casark tablets is Candesartan Cilexetil, a powerful angiotensin II receptor antagonist.
Mechanism of Action
Candesartan cilexetil exerts its therapeutic effects by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to its receptors, thereby preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone-secreting effects. This leads to vasodilation and decreased secretion of aldosterone, resulting in reduced blood pressure and improved cardiac function.
Pharmacological Properties
The pharmacological properties of Candesartan Cilexetil include its ability to inhibit the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, leading to vasodilation, decreased peripheral resistance, and reduced sodium and water retention. These actions contribute to its antihypertensive and cardioprotective effects.
Indications for Use
- Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Management of heart failure
Contraindications
Do not use Casark if you:
- Are allergic to candesartan cilexetil or any other ingredients in this medication

Usage Instructions
Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually once daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well to maintain its efficacy.
Benefits Compared to Analogues
Casark offers several advantages over other angiotensin II receptor antagonists, including a longer duration of action, improved cardiovascular outcomes, and a lower incidence of adverse effects such as cough and angioedema.

Casark is suitable for use in adult patients with hypertension or heart failure. It may also be prescribed for specific patient populations such as the elderly, provided dosing adjustments are made based on individual health status and renal function.
