Unisia 8/2.5 mg 30 Tablet

Product Description:

• A fixed dose combination of amlodipine and candesartan cilexetil for the treatment of hypertension.


• Candesartan cilexetil antagonises the action of angiotensin II by blocking the angiotensin type I (AT1) receptor.


• Angiotensin II is the primary vasoactive hormone of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system with effects that include vasoconstriction, stimulation of aldosterone secretion, and renal reabsorption of sodium.


• Candesartan cilexetil, a prodrug, is rapidly converted to the active drug, candesartan, during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.


• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker which prevent calcium from entering cells of the heart and blood vessel walls, resulting in vasodilation and a reduction in blood pressure.

How To Use:

• Your dosing schedule is prescribed by your doctor.


• For adults, take 1 tablet at a time, once a day.
