Can I take Candesartan cilexetil and Paracetamol together?

Why this happens

Candesartan is a blood pressure medication (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and paracetamol is a painkiller. They are processed by the body through different pathways and do not interfere with how the other works. Unlike some other painkillers (such as ibuprofen), paracetamol does not typically affect blood pressure or kidney function when used at standard doses.

What you should do

You can take paracetamol while taking candesartan. Always follow the recommended dose on the paracetamol packaging (usually no more than eight 500mg tablets in 24 hours). If you find you need to take paracetamol every day for a long period, you should mention this to your doctor or pharmacist.
