High blood pressure in adults

How Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) works

Atacand HCT is a combination of two medications that help lower blood pressure in different ways:

Candesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It lowers blood pressure by blocking angiotensin II. This is a hormone that typically causes your blood vessels to become more narrow, which raises your blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It works in your kidneys to remove extra water and certain electrolytes, like sodium and potassium, from your body. This lowers the fluid in your blood vessels, helping to lower blood pressure.

Pharmacist tips for Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide)

You might notice your blood pressure improving right after starting Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide). But it can take up to 4 weeks to see the maximum blood pressure-lowering effects of the medication.
Take Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) at any time of day. But you might consider taking it in the morning since hydrochlorothiazide in Atacand HCT can make you urinate more.
You can take Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) with or without food. If the medication hurts your stomach, taking it with food might help.
Be sure to check your blood pressure at home and write down your readings. Share this log with your prescriber at your follow-up visits. This will help your prescriber see how well Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) is working for you and see whether you need any changes to your treatment plan.
Take Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) exactly as prescribed. Don't change your dose or stop taking the medication suddenly without talking to your prescriber first. Doing so can cause your blood pressure to rise quickly. You might need to lower your dose slowly over time before you can completely stop taking it.
Stay hydrated while taking Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide). Taking this medication when you're dehydrated can lead to very low blood pressure that might cause you to faint. If you lose a lot of fluids from sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting, ask your healthcare team how much fluids you need to drink to recover.
Hydrochlorothiazide in Atacand HCT can make you more sensitive to the sun. Wear protective clothing when going outside to lower your risk of sunburns, and ask your healthcare team about getting your skin checked regularly for skin cancer.
Both candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide can interact with other medications, such as lithium (Lithobid) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (e.g., ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)). Tell your care team about all the medications you're taking before and during treatment with Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide).
Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) isn't safe to take during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant, contact your prescriber right away. Your prescriber will likely recommend a different medication that's safe during pregnancy.

Common questions about Candesartan/HCTZ

In general, side effects aren't very common with Candesartan/HCTZ. The most commonly reported side effect in clinical studies was upper respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold. This is a typical side effect of ARBs like candesartan in Atacand HCT. Another side effect to look for is dizziness. Dizziness can happen as Candesartan/HCTZ works to lower your blood pressure. If you experience dizziness, it should get better as you continue to take the medication and your body gets used to your new blood pressure.

Hair loss wasn't a reported side effect in people taking Candesartan/HCTZ during clinical studies. However, there were some reports of hair loss after Candesartan/HCTZ was released into the market. But it's unclear whether the hair loss was caused by Candesartan/HCTZ or other factors. If you notice hair loss while you're taking Candesartan/HCTZ, contact a healthcare professional so they can help you figure out what might be the cause.

Constipation isn't a common side effect of Candesartan/HCTZ. However, constipation is a potential symptom of dehydration, which is possible from hydrochlorothiazide in Atacand HCT since it's a water pill. Contact your prescriber if you experience constipation. They might recommend drinking more water to stay hydrated or using a laxative that's appropriate for you.

No, Candesartan/HCTZ doesn't typically cause dry mouth. But because Atacand HCT contains a diuretic (water pill), you're at risk for becoming dehydrated if you're not drinking enough water or if you're losing body fluids through vomiting or diarrhea. Some people can experience dry mouth if they become dehydrated because the body produces less saliva. If you have dry mouth, let your healthcare team know. They can check to see if you're dehydrated and need more medical attention. Or, they might recommend ways to ease your symptoms, such as drinking more water or using saliva substitutes.

There aren't any specific foods that are known to interact with Candesartan/HCTZ. But if you have high blood pressure, you should eat a nutritious meal that's low in salt to help your condition. It's best to avoid or limit canned foods, processed foods, or pickled foods because these are typically high in salt content.

No, don't take Atacand HCT if you're pregnant. This medication contains candesartan, which is an ARB. Taking an ARM during pregnancy can cause harm to unborn babies. Tell your prescriber right away if you're pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant because they'll need to switch you to a safer option.

Yes, Candesartan/HCTZ is available as a generic.

Risks and warnings for Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide)

Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.

Not for use during pregnancy

Black Box Warning Don't take Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) if you're pregnant. Candesartan in Atacand HCT can cause severe and sometimes life-threatening harm to unborn babies. If you find out that you're pregnant, stop taking this medication and let your prescriber know right away. If you're pregnant before starting Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) or thinking of becoming pregnant during treatment, discuss with your healthcare professional (HCP) about safer options to treat your blood pressure.

Low blood pressure

Risk factors: Not enough fluid in your body | Receiving dialysis | Having diarrhea or vomiting for a long time | Eating low-salt diet | Taking diuretic medications for a long time | Heart failure

Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) can cause your blood pressure to drop too much, which can make you feel dizzy, tired, or lightheaded. This side effect is more common if you're dehydrated from diarrhea or vomiting, or if you have heart failure. Before you start Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide), your care team will check to see if your fluid and salt levels are balanced. They will instruct you to stay well-hydrated to avoid having blood pressure that's too low. Sit down slowly while holding onto something if you feel dizzy from low blood pressure. Let your care team know if your blood pressure drops too much. Get medical help immediately if you fall and hit your head.

Worsening of kidney problems

Risk factors: Certain kidney problems | Severe heart failure | Loss of water and salt

In general, ARBs like candesartan in Atacand HCT can protect the kidneys. But in some cases, they might also cause kidney injury. For example, ARBs might cause harm in people with severe heart failure, a kidney condition called renal artery stenosis (RAS), or are dehydrated. Let your prescriber know if you're having problems with urination, as this could be a sign that your kidneys aren't working as well.

Changes in electrolyte, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels

Risk factors: Taking other medications that can change electrolyte, blood sugar, or cholesterol levels

Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) can affect the level of certain electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, and magnesium in your body. It can also change your blood sugar levels and raise the cholesterol and triglycerides levels.

You might need regular blood tests done while taking Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) to check that your electrolyte, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels are within a safe range. Let your care team know about all the medications you're taking because some of them can cause similar changes. Also, tell your care team if you experience an irregular heartbeat, weakness, low energy, muscle weakness or cramps, reduced urination, nausea, or vomiting. These can be signs of electrolyte imbalances.

Allergic reaction

Risk factors: History allergies or asthma | Allergy to sulfa

Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) can cause allergic reactions. Your risk is higher if you have a history of allergies, asthma, or a sulfa allergy, though it can happen to anyone. Let your prescriber know if you have a rash, itchiness, hives, trouble breathing, or swelling in the face.

Vision problems

Risk factors: History of sulfa or penicillin allergy

Although rare, some people experience vision changes or eye pain within hours or weeks of starting taking hydrochlorothiazide, an ingredient in Atacand HCT. Tell your prescriber right away about any vision changes and stop taking Atacand HCT (candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide), as untreated symptoms could lead to permanent vision loss.

Lupus

Risk factors: History of lupus

Medications containing hydrochlorothiazide like Atacand HCT can cause or worsen lupus. Talk to your prescriber if you have symptoms such as feeling very tired, joint pain, or a skin rash across your cheeks and nose.
