Atacand and Depression (Cont.)

Atacand and Depression: A Summary

For people taking Atacand, depression may or may not be a side effect of the medicine. Yet, it is important to understand the signs and symptoms of depression if you are using an angiotensin II receptor blocker. If you have any of these symptoms, or if something "just does not seem right," you should talk to your healthcare provider. He or she will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
 
Also, if you have a history of depression and are prescribed Atacand, talk to your doctor. Together you can decide whether taking Atacand makes sense in your particular situation.
