Timing matters: study tests best way to take kidney and blood pressure meds together

NCT ID NCT01976572

First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This completed Phase 1 trial looked at how colestilan, a drug for high phosphate levels in kidney disease, affects the body's processing of candesartan, a blood pressure medication. Eighteen healthy men took candesartan alone or with colestilan at different times. The goal was to see if colestilan changes candesartan levels in the blood, which could help doctors recommend the best dosing schedule for patients who need both drugs.
