Amias

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.

Each Amias tablet contains 16 mg of Candesartan cilexetil as the active ingredient. The tablet also includes excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, and hypromellose.

Common side effects of Amias include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include signs of high potassium levels (such as muscle weakness or irregular heartbeat) and allergic reactions (like swelling of the face, lips, throat, or difficulty breathing). If you experience any severe side effects, contact your doctor promptly.

Avoid taking Amias if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions, especially if you have kidney disease or are on a low-salt diet. You should also disclose all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to prevent interactions. If you have a history of angioedema or are allergic to Candesartan, do not use Amias. It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly while on this medication. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, seek medical advice promptly.
