When to take Candesartan

The timing of candesartan administration should be determined according to individual circumstances and medical advice. Generally speaking, since blood pressure tends to be higher in the morning and candesartan is a long-acting antihypertensive medication, it is recommended to take it at a fixed time each morning to effectively control morning blood pressure and achieve stable blood pressure reduction. Specifically, it can be taken on an empty stomach before breakfast or 30 minutes to 1 hour before a meal, which may help improve drug absorption. However, if a patient has gastrointestinal issues or experiences discomfort when taking the medication on an empty stomach, it can also be taken half an hour to one hour after a meal to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. During candesartan administration, blood pressure should be monitored regularly, and instructions from physicians or pharmacists should be followed to ensure the medication's effectiveness and safety. Additionally, dietary control is important; excessive intake of salty or greasy foods should be avoided to support antihypertensive therapy. Please note that the timing and dosage of candesartan should be determined based on the patient's specific condition and under the guidance of a physician.
