Hi

I am wondering of others experience of taking candesartan 8mg, particularly any side effects. I have moderate high BP, started when I went through menopause. I tried Ramipril and Losartan before I settled on Candesartan. The others caused a continuous cough. However l, with this med, I still get a slight cough and nasal congestion.

Has anyone else had this and what is the alternative. Fed up with feeling I've always got a cold.

Thanks for your responses.

    I have never taken what you are taking. But I did take Ramipril. OMG,had a huge dry cough.

    I changed a couple of times until I settled on Olmesartan. No cough at all
