Candesartan-Hydrochlorothiazide Dosage: An Introduction
As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
Candesartan-Hydrochlorothiazide Dosing for High Blood Pressure
The recommended starting dosage of
candesartan-hydrochlorothiazide for most people with
high blood pressure (
hypertension) is candesartan-hydrochlorothiazide 16 mg/12.5 mg once a day. Based on the
blood pressure response and/or candesartan-hydrochlorothiazide side effects, the dosage may be increased or decreased. With each change in dosage, it may take several weeks to see the full effects of candesartan-hydrochlorothiazide on
lowering blood pressure.
If you have moderate to severe liver disease (including
cirrhosis), your healthcare provider may choose to start with a lower dose of candesartan-hydrochlorothiazide and will monitor your situation more closely, or may recommend another
blood pressure medicine altogether.
