Posso prendere Candesartan e olio di fegato di merluzzo insieme?

Perché succede

Candesartan is a medication prescribed specifically to lower blood pressure. Cod liver oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have a natural, mild blood-pressure-lowering effect. When used together, these effects can add up (an additive effect).

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you feel dizzy, faint, or unusually tired, speak to your doctor or pharmacist. They may suggest adjusting the timing of your doses or checking your blood pressure more frequently.

Gravidanza

You must not take candesartan if you are pregnant. It can cause serious harm or death to an unborn baby, especially if used during the second and third trimesters. Use effective contraception while taking it.

Alcol

Drinking alcohol while taking candesartan can increase the blood-pressure-lowering effect of the medicine. This may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when standing up. It is best to keep your alcohol intake within recommended limits and see how the medicine affects you before drinking.

Potassium-rich foods (e.g., bananas, spinach, salt substitutes)

Candesartan can increase the levels of potassium in your blood. Consuming large amounts of foods very high in potassium or using potassium-based salt substitutes (such as Lo-Salt) can lead to dangerously high potassium levels (hyperkalaemia). You should avoid using potassium-based salt substitutes unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
