Blopress Plus is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It contains two active ingredients: candesartan cilexetil, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that relaxes and widens blood vessels, and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water from the body. Together, they help to lower blood pressure effectively.
Indications for Use:
Treatment of high blood pressure in adult patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by candesartan cilexetil or hydrochlorothiazide alone.

The recommended dose is one tablet once daily. Swallow the tablet with water, preferably at the same time each day. Do not stop treatment without consulting your doctor.
