Dosage

The usual dose of Sandoz Candesartan HCT 16mg/12.5mg is one tablet once daily, taken after blood pressure has been assessed on the individual components. Your doctor determines the exact dose and monitors your blood pressure, kidney function and electrolytes periodically while you are on this combination.
