I lost more than 3/4 of my hair from this drug. I had to go to a dermatologist for her to diagnose what was causing my hair loss and pinned it down to this drug. My hair started coming back in after I discontinued this drug.

The warning that this drug may be harmful to small children and pregnant women should have been a major red flag. I've been on BP meds for years.

After retiring and losing 20 lbs Doc switched me to 4 MG (half a 8 MG pill) Atacand looking for a weaker med. After being on Atacand for a month I ended up in the ER after my BP kept climbing all day (150/110), dizziness and pressure on my chest. I also was experiencing mental confusion. When they asked me in the ER who the president was, it took me a good 30 seconds to come up with his name! Very concerning. After being back on half a dose of my old med for a week, I am back to feeling like myself again. Avoid this drug if at all possible.

I have been on Atacand for 3 months. I immediately noticed bags under my eyes and tiredness. i have since noticed my hair thinning. i now have pain in my chest and blocked ear canals. The med has certainly lowered my blood pressure.

It works great on lowering my BP.Other meds have not done so. Only problem is it makes my Back hurt, my gut swell & have lost massive amounts of hair.

Why is my supplier and also many local drug stores unable to get the generic brand of candesartan? I now have to take the brand name and because we have to purchase through mail order, it is quite expensive! Is there an ingredient missing? Anyone know what the problem is? Thank you!
