Candesartan - 1 A Pharma is a generic medication containing the active ingredient candesartan cilexetil, which is used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. The active substance was originally developed and patented by Japanese scientists in 1990 and approved for medical use in 1997. As a generic drug, it is manufactured in various facilities across Europe and globally to ensure cost-effective access to essential medicine.

The brand 1 A Pharma was established in Germany in 1997 with a focus on providing high-quality generic pharmaceuticals. Over the years, it became well-known for its "Simply Understanding" marketing philosophy, which aims to simplify medical information for patients and professionals. Historically, the brand was a subsidiary of Hexal AG. Since 2023, following the successful spin-off of Sandoz from its parent company Novartis, 1 A Pharma has been part of the independent Sandoz Group AG, one of the world's largest leaders in generic and biosimilar medicines.
