Taking 2x1080mg k-citra daily, 1x100mg zyloprim, (allopurinol) plus 1x16mg candesartan. any contra-indications i should be concerned about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Careful...: Potassium is not warranted in most cases with candesartan. The latter is an angiotensinogen receptor block and can cause you to retain the excess potassium. Too high a potassium level can be very serious. Review your medications with your physician and your pharmacist.
