Side effects atacand candesartan

[Heartproblemshope]

A little sensitive question. I have been having diarrhea since I started this medication. Any one else have a side effect like this. Any advice. Does it stop.

Hi Heartproblemshope. I found this:

The main side effects of candesartan are dizziness, headache and cold or flu-like symptoms - but they're usually mild and short-lived. If you get severe diarrhoea or vomiting from a stomach bug or illness, tell your doctor. You may need to stop taking candesartan for a while until you feel better.17 Mar 2020

I would ring your GP to discuss it. All the best. xx

Thank you. I think it’s from the medication. No flu or bug. I’ll speak to doctor. I was wondering if anyone else had problems with the drugs and diarrhea

I've been on Candesarten over 15 years and never suffered from diarrhoea, you need to check with your doctor or look at what you eat.
