Posso prendere Candesartan e Paracetamolo insieme?

Perché succede

Candesartan is a blood pressure medication (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and paracetamol is a painkiller. They are processed by the body through different pathways and do not interfere with how the other works. Unlike some other painkillers (such as ibuprofen), paracetamol does not typically affect blood pressure or kidney function when used at standard doses.

You can take paracetamol while taking candesartan. Always follow the recommended dose on the paracetamol packaging (usually no more than eight 500mg tablets in 24 hours). If you find you need to take paracetamol every day for a long period, you should mention this to your doctor or pharmacist.

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.

Liver disease or high alcohol intake

Taking more than the recommended dose of paracetamol can cause fatal liver damage. You must be extremely careful not to take other products containing paracetamol (such as cold and flu remedies) at the same time.

Alcol

Bere alcol mentre si assume candesartan può aumentare l'effetto di abbassamento della pressione sanguigna del medicinale. Questo può farti sentire stordito, leggero o svenire, specialmente quando ti alzi in piedi. È meglio mantenere l'assunzione di alcol entro i limiti raccomandati e vedere come il medicinale ti influenza prima di bere.

Alimenti ricchi di potassio (ad esempio banane, spinaci, sostituti del sale)

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.
