Side effects of candesartan

Has anyone else experienced severe skin irritation with increased dose (8mg) of candesartan?

Sorry no but am wondering if increased dose... To 10 from 4 is causing me headaches. Hope you get an answer and relief soon.

That's interesting, I do not know a direct answer but I keep getting horrendous itching of my calves. I have a review on the 1st June if I get an answer I will post here!

I am on 12 mg

Interesting to hear that. I’ve had severe itching for ten weeks now on and off over hands, arms, back and legs. Haven’t been able to see GP because of lockdown but 4 calls to surgery for advice. E45 and antihistamine their suggestion.
