Posso prendere Candesartan e Rosuvastatina insieme?

Perché succede

Candesartan and rosuvastatin are processed by different pathways in the body. Candesartan is mainly excreted unchanged, while rosuvastatin is processed by specific liver enzymes that do not interfere with how candesartan works. They do not compete for absorption or elimination.

You can safely take these two medicines together as prescribed by your doctor. You do not need to separate the doses or change your routine. As with all cholesterol-lowering 'statin' medicines, contact your doctor if you experience any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness.

Gravidanza

You must not take candesartan if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It can cause serious harm or death to an unborn baby, especially if used during the second and third trimesters.

You must not take rosuvastatin if you are pregnant or trying to conceive, as it may harm the developing baby. Use effective contraception while taking this medicine and stop immediately if you become pregnant.

Unexplained muscle pain or weakness - rosuvastatin

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. In rare cases, statins can cause severe muscle breakdown which can lead to kidney damage.

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.

You should limit your alcohol intake while taking rosuvastatin. Drinking large amounts of alcohol regularly or binge drinking can increase your risk of serious muscle problems and liver damage.

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.
