Amias

Description

Amias is a medication that helps manage high blood pressure by working to relax and widen your blood vessels, making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. The active ingredient in Amias is called Candesartan, which belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers. This medication is suitable for adults who need to control their blood pressure to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.

You should take Amias exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The typical starting dose is 8 mg once daily, which can be adjusted based on your individual response. The maximum recommended dose is 32 mg per day. It may take a few weeks for you to feel the full benefits of this medication. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose. If you have any concerns about your dosage, speak to your healthcare provider.
