CANDESARTAN - ORAL

I lost more than 3/4 of my hair from this drug. I had to go to a dermatologist for her to diagnose what was causing my hair loss and pinned it down to this drug. My hair started coming back in after I discontinued this drug.

The warning that this drug may be harmful to small children and pregnant women should have been a major red flag. I've been on BP meds for years. After retiring and losing 20 lbs Doc switched me to 4 MG (half a 8 MG pill) Atacand looking for a weaker med. After being on Atacand for a month I ended up in the ER after my BP kept climbing all day (150/110), dizziness and pressure on my chest. I also was experiencing mental confusion. When they asked me in the ER who the president was, it took me a good 30 seconds to come up with his name! Very concerning. After being back on half a dose of my old med for a week, I am back to feeling like myself again. Avoid this drug if at all possible.

I have been on Atacand for 3 months. I immediately noticed bags under my eyes and tiredness. i have since noticed my hair thinning. i now have pain in my chest and blocked ear canals. The med has certainly lowered my blood pressure.

It works great on lowering my BP.Other meds have not done so. Only problem is it makes my Back hurt, my gut swell & have lost massive amounts of hair.

Why is my supplier and also many local drug stores unable to get the generic brand of candesartan? I now have to take the brand name and because we have to purchase through mail order, it is quite expensive! Is there an ingredient missing? Anyone know what the problem is? Thank you!

Taking Atacand 16mg for about 6 months. Works effectively in keeping BP down, but now have Burning Mouth Syndrome. Pharmacist says this is due to the build up of chemicals in the drug. Dr. says "not to worry." Also found hair is thinning. Well, at least I'm alive.

Have had no problems with 8mg. Love it. Recently bp jumped up after 2 surgeries so Dr. added Bystolic, not digging it so far, now I have weird chest pains. Hoping after recovery can go back to just Atacand only.

I take 8mgs/day. I sometimes experience coughing, vertigo and itching. I started on a much cheaper generic, but it gave me a hacking cough 24/7.

Only my systolic is ever high. I take no other meds. Usually 128/60 Pulse 60. on medication. Off=150/60 or sometimes systolic is higher. Tried to get by on 16 but need 32 and take it at night. Other meds for BP were awful. Can't take diuretics, K falls too low and get cramps. Pain seems to make my B.P high. Have arthritis.

I take half of a 4 mg Atacand and all I can say is that after taking it about 1-2 hrs later I am so tired, my stomach is upset all day, and have a cough. My doctor told me to take 4 mg, with these side effects on just 2 mg I have to be insane to take 4.

I have been using this medication for about 10 years and have had no problems with this medication

Since I have been on this med I have sinusitis, wheezing, leg and joint pain, insomnia, and am now noticing more problems with itching and rashes. I have made these complaints to my doctor. I have seen warnings of the drugs in this category and don't understand what it will take other than death for doctors to make connections of the drug and side-effects when presented at office visits. Why does the FDA not step in and stop the pharmaceutical companies from distributing drugs such as these. One has to see the commercials after people have died or suffered. I am going to request to be put on another medication for my treatment. Some doctors have a "god complex" and don't listen.
