Summary
Corticosteroids can promote potassium loss and thereby add to thiazide-induced hypokalemia. With inhaled beclomethasone systemic exposure is low, so the effect is usually small unless high doses are used.
What this interaction means in plain words
Beclomethasone inhaled and Candesartan-hydrochlorothiazide have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
Mineralocorticoid-like potassium wasting from systemically absorbed corticosteroid adds to thiazide renal potassium loss.
