Treatan 16mg Tablet contains Candesartan Cilexetil 16mg, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. Effective blood pressure control also helps lower the risk of serious cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.

Treatan is intended for long-term use as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Even if you feel well, it is important to continue taking the medicine because high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms.
