- heart failure in adults with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Decreased BP reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, especially, of heart attack and strokes. The therapeutic dose of the antihypertensive medication is adjusted individually depending on the patient’s health state and achieved therapeutic effect. The recommended initial and maintaining adult dose of Atacand is 8mg once a day. In case of low therapeutic effect, the daily dose is to be increased to 16mg once daily.
