Candesartan secondary effects

I have been taking 5mg (started on that). Side effects seem to be Pins and Needles and back ache lower right side.

My questions are 1 does one normally put up with these?, 2 do they go away with time and continued taking of the drug?, 3 does a lower dose reduce the effects?.

If anyone has experience of any of these much appreciated to hear.

People often get side effects from newly-prescribed medication - which you probably know already. Pharmacists are more highly trained than doctors in this field so a chat with your local one is a start if you don’t get much help here.
