1. WHAT BLOPRESS PLUS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The name of your medicine is Blopress Plus. It is used for treating
high blood pressure (hypertension)
in adult patients. It contains two active ingredients: candesartan
cilexetil and hydrochlorothiazide.
These work together to lower your blood pressure.

Candesartan cilexetil belongs to a group of medicines called
angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It
makes your blood vessels relax and widen. This helps to lower your
blood pressure.

(water tablets). It helps your
body to get rid of water and salts like sodium in your urine. This
helps to lower your blood
pressure.
Your doctor may prescribe Blopress Plus if your blood pressure has not
been properly controlled by
candesartan cilexetil or hydrochlorothiazide alone.
