Instruction
-
Take candesartan once each day, exactly as your doctor tells you to. There are several different strengths of tablet available (2 mg, 4 mg, 8 mg, 16 mg and 32 mg). When you first start treatment your doctor may gradually increase the strength of the tablets to suit your condition. Each time you collect a fresh supply of tablets, it's a good idea to check the strength on the packet to make sure they are what you are expecting.
-
Try to take candesartan at the same time of day each day. For most people this will be in the morning. Taking your doses at the same time each day will help you to remember to take candesartan regularly.
-
Swallow the tablet with a drink of water. You can take candesartan either before or after a meal.
-
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the following day, miss out the forgotten dose. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a forgotten dose.
