3. Manufacturing Candesartan Tablets We divide our operations to ensure specialized focus.

  • The Manufacturer: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. First, Healthy Life Pharma handles manufacturing. We operate a WHO-GMP certified plant in Mumbai. Candesartan Cilexetil is chemically sensitive to Hydrolysis (breakdown by water) and Thermal Degradation. To prevent this, we manufacture in Low-Humidity Suites (RH < 40%) and package the final tablets in Alu-Alu Blisters. This creates a near-perfect barrier against moisture and oxygen, ensuring the drug remains stable and effective even in tropical climates.

  • The Exporter: Healthy Inc Second, Healthy Inc manages international trade. This division handles logistics for Candesartan Tablets. We supply pharmacy chains and heart institutes globally. We offer scored tablets for the 16mg and 32mg strengths, allowing for precise dose titration as per the patient’s blood pressure response.

4. Quality Assurance We test every batch rigorously.

  • Polymorph Stability: Candesartan exists in different crystal forms. We ensure our API is the therapeutically active polymorph for optimal bioavailability.

  • Dissolution: We test how the tablet releases the drug. Because Candesartan is a prodrug, consistent release is vital for its conversion in the gut.

  • Related Substances: We monitor for degradation products to ensure safety over the full shelf life.

5. Why Use Candesartan Tablets? This drug blocks the “tightening” signal to blood vessels.

    • Mechanism: Candesartan Cilexetil is a prodrug. Once swallowed, it is converted into active Candesartan. It blocks the binding of Angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor.

    • Effect: Unlike ACE inhibitors, it blocks Angiotensin II completely, regardless of how it is produced. This relaxes blood vessels (lowering BP) and reduces the strain on the heart (Heart Failure).

    • Advantage: It has one of the strongest binding affinities among all ARBs, leading to sustained 24-hour control.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Who manufactures Candesartan Tablets? A: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. manufactures them in India.
