Read this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine because it contains important information for you.

  • Keep this leaflet as you may need to read it again.
  • If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

1. What is Candesartán Teva and what is it used for

Your medicine is called Candesartán Teva. The active ingredient is candesartan cilexetilo. This belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by making blood vessels relax and dilate. This makes it easier for your blood pressure to decrease. It also makes it easier for your heart to pump blood to all parts of your body.

This medicine is used for:

  • treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) in adult patients and in children and adolescents from 6 years old to less than 18 years old.
  • treatment of adult patients with heart failure with reduced cardiac muscle function when it is not possible to use angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), or added to ACE inhibitors when symptoms persist despite treatment and it is not possible to use mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). (ACE inhibitors and MRAs are medicines used to treat heart failure).

2. What you need to know before starting Candesartán Teva

Do not take Candesartán Teva

  • if you are allergic to candesartán cilexetilo or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • if you are more than 3 months pregnant (it is best to avoid this medicine at the start of pregnancy – see section 2: Pregnancy and breastfeeding).
  • if you have severe liver disease or bile duct obstruction (a problem with the bile flowing out of the gallbladder).
  • if the patient is under 1 year of age.
  • if you have diabetes or kidney failure and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine that contains aliskirén.

  • inform your doctor if you are pregnant (or if you suspect you may be). This medicine is not recommended at the start of pregnancy, andshould not be takenif you are more than 3 months pregnant as it may cause serious harm to your baby when administered from that point onwards (see section 2: Pregnancy and breastfeeding).
  • if you are taking any of the following medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension):

    • aliskirén
  • if you are taking an ACE inhibitor together with a medicine belonging to the class of drugs known as mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). These medicines are for the treatment of heart failure (see “Taking Candesartán Teva with other medicines”).
