UpdatedMy 78'year old dad just started taking candesartan and has experienced severe leg cramps. His,Doctor,just switched him to this medication to try to see if it could help with his persistent cough and hoarse voice.

I am so sorry about what your dad is experiencing. Has there been any change?
Severe leg cramps may be caused by low potassium levels, which is something this medication may also help with. How long has he been taking it?
Other side effects, as reported by the U.S. FDA may also include nausea, dizziness, increased urination and hypotension.
Is he on any other medications?
