Which companies manufacture candesartan tablets?
Candesartan is a prescription blood-pressure medicine sold under multiple brand names and in generic forms. Different manufacturers can make products in different countries, and the exact “manufacturer” on your package depends on the specific brand/generic name and strength.
To identify the manufacturer for a specific product, check the label for the “Manufacturer” or “Distributed by” line, which is tied to that exact product/strength (for example, 4 mg, 8 mg, 16 mg, or 32 mg).
How to find the manufacturer for the exact candesartan you have
Look for these on your box or bottle:
- Brand name (if any) and strength (mg)
- The company listed under “Manufacturer,” “Prepared for,” or “Distributed by”
- The National Drug Code (NDC) number (US) or the local equivalent identifier
If you tell me the brand name, strength, and country (or the NDC), I can help you narrow down which manufacturer makes that exact product.
Generic candesartan: can multiple manufacturers exist?
Yes. Generic drugs are often produced by more than one company. Two people taking “candesartan” may receive products from different manufacturers depending on which generic product their pharmacy stocks and the strength they’re prescribed.
