Mixing candesartan with herbal remedies or supplements
There's very little information about taking herbal remedies and supplements with candesartan. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.
Important: Medicine safety
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
