What is the difference between Kandesar 8 mg and Telmizek 40 mg?

Both substances (candesartan - Candesar, telmisartan - Telmizek) belong to the same group of drugs and are among the first-line drugs used in hypertension recommended by the Polish Society of Hypertension. As for doses, 8 mg of Candesar is equivalent to a dose of 40 mg of Telmizek, so in this range it can be assumed that the drugs give a comparable effect. I will also add that these are the lowest doses of both substances available on the market, which seems to be a reasonable decision if hypertension is not advanced. You certainly shouldn't use Kandesar and Telmizek at the same time – it may be associated with too much drop in blood pressure. Nevertheless, it is difficult for me to say which of these two drugs you should choose, because probably the effect on blood pressure will be similar. I advise you not to stop taking the drug yourself. Of course, it is possible to discontinue medication if the blood pressure values are normal as a result of the implementation of physical activity and proper eating habits. The decision should be made by the attending physician after taking into account all risk factors.
