Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Atacand HCT is a medication that combines two drugs: Candesartan Cilexetil and Hydrochlorothiazide. Candesartan Cilexetil helps relax the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and the heart to work better. Hydrochlorothiazide helps the body get rid of extra salt and water by affecting how the kidneys filter fluids. Doctors often prescribe Atacand HCT to treat high blood pressure (also known as hypertension). Managing high blood pressure is important because it can help prevent serious health issues like strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
Atacand HCT is a medication you take by mouth, usually once per day. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully. The usual starting dosage for adults is 16 mg of Candesartan and 12.5 mg of Hydrochlorothiazide per day. If your blood pressure doesn't lower enough after a few weeks, your doctor may increase the dose. Try to take the medication at the same time each day to keep the amount steady in your body. When you start taking Atacand HCT, it's important to check your blood pressure and kidney health regularly.
The active ingredients in Atacand HCT are Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide.
Avoid taking Atacand HCT if you have a history of the following:
The most common Atacand HCT side effects include dizziness, upper respiratory infections, and back pain. Some people may also experience flu-like symptoms or mild gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea or abdominal cramping. These side effects are generally mild and may improve over time.
Atacand HCT may cause more serious side effects, such as angioedema, liver problems, or changes in blood cell counts like neutropenia or leukopenia. Rarely, severe skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported. Long-term use of Hydrochlorothiazide has been linked to a slightly increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancer, particularly in fair-skinned individuals. If you experience symptoms like severe rash, breathing difficulties, or unusual swelling, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
