Drug Interactions between Aspirin Low Strength and candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide

If you use hydroCHLOROthiazide for the treatment of high blood pressure, talk to your doctor before using it together with aspirin. Combining these medications may reduce the effects of hydroCHLOROthiazide in lowering your blood pressure, especially if you use aspirin frequently or regularly (for example, to treat arthritis or chronic pain). You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring of your blood pressure and kidney function to safely use both medications. You should avoid being dehydrated while using these medications to minimize risk of kidney problems. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
