If you have lupus, you should be cautious about taking the blood pressure drug Atacand HCT. This drug has two active ingredients: candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Candesartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, and hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic. These drugs reduce blood pressure in different ways. However, thiazide diuretics may worsen lupus in people who have the condition.
In a hypertensive emergency, the blood pressure should be slowly lowered over a period of minutes to hours with an antihypertensive agent.
