Drug Mode of Action ::
Candesartan inhibits the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors in many tissues (e.g. vascular smooth muscles, adrenal gland) which leads to vasoconstriction blockade and aldosterone release.
Drug Interactions ::
NSAIDs may reduce antihypertensive effect and result in deterioration of renal function including possible acute renal failure. May increase serum lithium concentration. K-sparing diuretics, K supplements or salt substitutes containing K may increase risk of hyperkalaemia. Potentially Fatal: Coadministration w/ aliskiren in diabetic patients may increase risk of renal impairment, hypotension and hyperkalaemia.
