Using NSAIDs with potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, or potassium-based salt substitutes may lead to high potassium levels.

Serious Warning: Taking NSAIDs together with aliskiren if you have diabetes may increase the risk of kidney damage, low blood pressure, and high potassium levels.

Mode of actions

Candesartan works by blocking angiotensin II from attaching to AT1 receptors found in tissues like blood vessels and the adrenal gland. This stops blood vessels from narrowing and reduces the release of aldosterone.
