Introduction

Vesotan is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease. Lowering blood pressure helps to prevent future heart attack and stroke. This medicine is also effective in preserving kidney function in patients with diabetes. Vesotan can be prescribed either alone or in combination with other medicines. It may be taken with or without food during the day or at night. However, try to take it at the same time each day to get the most benefit. It is important to continue taking it regularly even if you feel well or if your blood pressure is controlled. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel ill, but if you stop taking this medicine, your condition could get worse. This is a widely used medicine and is considered safe for long-term use. Making some changes in your lifestyle will also help lower your blood pressure. These may include regular exercise, losing weight, smoking cessation, reducing alcohol intake, and reducing the amount of salt in your diet as advised by your doctor. This medicine is tolerated well by most patients and has few side effects. Dizziness, particularly after the first dose, is known to occur in some people. This may be associated with headache. Let your doctor know if these side effects bother you or do not go away. No weight gain has been seen with the regular use of this medicine. Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should also consult their doctor before taking it. Your doctor may check your kidney function, blood pressure and potassium levels in your blood at regular intervals while you are taking this medicine.

How Vesotan works

Vesotan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes the blood vessel by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently.

What if you forget to take Vesotan?

If you miss a dose of Vesotan, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.

Mode of Action

Candesartan inhibits the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors in many tissues (e.g. vascular smooth muscles, adrenal gland) which leads to vasoconstriction blockade and aldosterone release.

Precaution

Volume or sodium depletion, preexisting renal insufficiency; aortic or mitral valve stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, renal artery stenosis, primary hyperaldosteronism. Patients with a history of angioedema, urticaria. Monitor serum potassium levels especially in elderly and renally impaired patients. Hypotension may occur during major surgery and anaesthesia due to suppression of the renin-angiotensin system. Discontinue as soon as pregnancy detected; during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin have been associated with fetal injury that includes hypotension, neonatal skull hypoplasia, anuria, reversible or irreversible renal failure, and death Lactation: Not known if excreted in breast milk; not recommended

Interaction

NSAIDs may reduce antihypertensive effect and result in deterioration of renal function including possible acute renal failure. May increase serum lithium concentration. K-sparing diuretics, K supplements or salt substitutes containing K may increase risk of hyperkalaemia. Potentially Fatal: Coadministration w/ aliskiren in diabetic patients may increase risk of renal impairment, hypotension and hyperkalaemia.
