Specializes in Internal Medicine

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.
