Scientific Evidence

Cantab (andesartan cilexetil) has been extensively studied in clinical trials for its efficacy in lowering blood pressure. Research published in the Journal of Hypertension demonstrated that andesartan cilexetil effectively reduces both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels in hypertensive patients.

Additional Information

Cantab tablets work by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels, leading to decreased peripheral resistance and reduced blood pressure. This medication is well-tolerated and has a favorable side effect profile compared to other antihypertensive agents.

In a comparative study published in the American Journal of Medicine, Cantab (andesartan cilexetil) was found to be as effective as other angiotensin receptor blockers in reducing blood pressure with a lower incidence of adverse effects.
