… atients with very severe or end-stage renal impairment (Clcreatinine < 15 ml/min). In these patients Candesartan cilexetil should be carefully titrated with thorough monitoring of blood pressure. Evaluation of patients with heart failure should include periodic assessments of renal function, especially in elderly patients 75 years or older, and patients with impaired renal function. During dose titration of Candesartan cilexetil, monitoring of serum creatinine and potassium is recommended. Clinical trials in heart failure did not include patients with serum creatinine >265 μmol/L (>3 mg/dl). Concomitant therapy with an ACE inhibitor in heart failure The risk of adverse reactions, especially hypotension, hyperkalaemia and decreased renal function (including acute renal failure), may …

Hypotension Hypotension may occur during treatment with Candesartan cilexetil in heart failure patients. It may also occur in hypertensive patients with intravascular volume depletion such as those receiving high dose diuretics. Caution should be observed when initiating therapy and correction of hypovolemia should be attempted. Anaesthesia and surgery Hypotension may occur during anaesthesia and surgery in patients treated with angiotensin II antagonists due to blockade of the renin-angiotensin system. Very rarely, hyp …

Renal impairment As with other agents inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, changes in renal function may be anticipated in susceptible patients treated with Candesartan cilexetil. When Candesartan cilexetil is used in hypertensive patients with renal impairment, periodic monitoring of serum potassium and creatinine levels is recommended. There is limited experience in patients with very severe or end-stage renal impairment (Clcreatinine < 15 ml/min). In these patients Candesartan cilexetil should be carefully titrated with thorough monitoring of blood pressure. Evaluation of patients with heart failure should include periodic assessments of r …

Concomitant therapy with an ACE inhibitor in heart failure The risk of adverse reactions, especially hypotension, hyperkalaemia and decreased renal function (including acute renal failure), may increase when Candesartan cilexetil is used in combination with an ACE-inhibitor. Triple combination of an ACE-inhibitor, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist and candesartan is also not recommended. Use of these combinations should be under specialist supervision and subject to frequent close monitoring of renal function, electrolytes and blood pressure.

… a potassium-sparing diuretic (e.g. spironolactone) and Candesartan cilexetilis not recommended and should be considered only after careful evaluation of the potential benefits and risks. General In patients whose vascular tone and renal function depend predominantly on the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (e.g. patients with severe congestive heart failure or underlying renal disease, including renal artery stenosis), treatment with other medicinal products that affect this system has been associated with acute hypotension, azotaemia, oliguria or, rarely, acute renal failure. The possibility of similar effects cannot be excluded with AIIRAs. As with any antihypertensive agent, excessive blood pressure decrease in patients with ischaemic cardiopathy or ischaemic cerebrovascular disease could result in a myocardial infarction or stroke. The antihypertensive effect of candesartan may be enhanced by other medicinal products with blood pressure lowering properties, whether prescribed as an antihypertensive or prescribed for other ind …
